Woodcock or snipe ? How about the long legged one to the right ? Lesser yellow legs ?

Send Biz....

The one on the right is proper proportions for a lesser yellowlegs..

The flock is definitely not woodcock,,, Legs seen a little long for snipe and I have never seen them flocked like that...Usually this time of the year they are circling overhead  marking their territory... Wish I could study them through my binocs..

Virginia Rail maybe?

So no positive identification on either. Good I don’t feel silly asking

Apocalypse Cornish game hens

This reminds me of a story...

My friend John was on a moose hunt in northern Ontario..His guide was a crusty old guy named Ernie, who had been involved in eighty-some moose kills...

Putting up a lake in a little outboard on their way to camp,, a duck landed near them...

John, who loves to talk and is interested in everything, said " Ernie,  what kind of a duck is that ? "

Ernie, who had lived in the bush all his life but neither knew nor cared anything about ducks, replied....

" John....That is a Great Canadian ****ing Duck  ".... True story....

That's Elliot, he's a little off, we don't talk about him. 

 

 

I think the beak is too short to be a Snipe, and too long and flat to be a Rail.   I'm un-identifying.

Obviously they are Cornish Game Hens. Quite delicious but you need to eat the whole flock in order to have a nice dinner

Spot on. Cornish Game Hens are a staple on Easter and for many years Xmas as well. What a phenomenal meal for each person to have their chicken
