- Wilson's Snipe is a secretive migrant and winter visitor to southern Arizona, found locally in wet habitats from September through April - While it is a common shorebird across North America, it only breeds in northern regions (like Canada and Alaska) and migrates south for the colder months - Because of their highly secretive nature and excellent mottled brown camouflage, they are often difficult to spot unless they are flushed or caught foraging right at dawn
