recent news reports suggest the way that snipe make a drumming noise. Quote ...
"A team of UK researchers found the birds' tail feathers "flapped like a flag" in the wind, something that had not been seen before.
When attempting to attract a potential mate, the males perform a dive to create the drumming noise.
The findings appear in the Journal of Experimental Biology."
And these "researchers" actually get paid for this!! Or am I a bigot? (there's that word again)
