The instant it meets with this it sets to work, and thrusts its bill into the mud or the damp soil, to a depth determined by the degree of softness of the ground, repeating its thrusts eight, ten, or more times in quick succession. When it has thus examined a spot, and perhaps found some food, it walks off in search of another, and thus continues until it is satisfied, when it generally lays itself down in a soft tuft of grass until the approach of night, when it flies off and rambles about for exercise in comparative security.” - (Audubon’s Ornithological Biography, 1831).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arader Galleries","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45464194908204,"sku":null,"price":22000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1156\/7956\/files\/AU00043_Audubon_AmericanSnipe.jpg?v=1776452842","url":"https:\/\/aradernyc.com\/products\/audubon-john-james-1785-1851-american-snipe-plate-243-1827-1838","provider":"Arader Galleries","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
