Common snipe drumming - a photo on Flickriver

            It's amazing that the haunting sound known as drumming is made by air flowing across the tail feathers, which are spread like this during a display flight. It doesn't sound like a drum, but it is sort of similar to the sound you can get when a car window is partly open, which we also call drumming.
