To celebrate the "end of a great beginning" to the 2015-2016 hawking season, I Googled a recipe and found our friends Hank Shaw and Holly Heyser's roast snipe, which worked wonderfully on these two soras.
The kids, always skeptical at first, deemed it "just like steak" and asked how many we had left in the freezer.
Here's the recipe to try:

I haven't seen snipe with yellow bills and legs. The bill isn't the right shape.
I think those birds are yellow legs
Hmmm.
Matt's are Sora rails, and Hank's are ambiguous. Yellowlegs are one of the only shorebirds with yellow legs...?
The birds pictured here? Soras (Porzana carolina) our most abundant rail specie. I'm sure yellowlegs are delicious too but we may never rediscover that! :-)
