Well it was 25 degrees and that little $hit was walking down the middle of the creek. 🤣 It was definitely a water bird with a beak like a duck.

Be sure to return Bill's camera when you're done with it.

Did you take that picture with a potato? Now that’s funny. Ok here is the original. I was maybe 20’ from it. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2021/02/full-7194-281024-6d0ade7d_cbda_4330_bdf9_07c56f6d154e.jpeg)

What kind of bird is this little guy. It was the size of the dove no larger. It's got the size and coloration of a Wilsons Snipe but not the bill so I'm going to say immature Sora.
Yes! A Weatherby does kill them deader.

Google "Rails" in Texas to see if any of those look familiar.
