99 Days until the US Open at Chambers Bay

I have been walking Chambers Creek Properties for years. I have been carrying a camera since 2009. With the US Open coming to the Chambers Bay Golf Course, which is part of the property, I have decided to share a picture each day for the 365 days leading up to the tournament. The US Open is scheduled to begin on June 18, 2015. As of today, we are 99 days away.

Today's Picture:

Taken on March 5, 2015

The Wilson's Snipe (Gallinago delicata) has been a frustrating subject for me. While not everyday sightings, they are not considered rare. I have a bunch of sightings over the years. What I hadn't had until a recent walk was a usable picture. Thanks to snipe hunts, many people believe that snipes aren't real.
