WOODCOCK and snipe or snipe and woodcock? The question is which bird should be given precedence, which bird is the more important from the points of view of the ornithologist and the sportsman, and, one should add, from the point of view of the epicurean? For the sportsman, memories of upland hunts for either bird can evoke pursuasive arguments favoring one over the other. Such is the depth of feelings experienced when seeking sport with these little game birds. For do they not denote all that is beautiful? And does their presence not tell us that the brooks are still dancing merrily through the woods? So both bring joy to lovers of forest and stream. Fur Feather and Fin Snipe & Woodcock Series f i r s t p u b l i s hed in 1903 explores the habits, haunts and shooting techniques elusive denizens of the uplands.
