Three Jack Snipes Lymnocryptes minimus were found and banded on agricultural land in Chiba Prefecture, Japan between October and December 2017. One of these was identified as a first winter, and the others were adults according to their molt and plumage characteristics. These two adults were observed in the area until February 2018, and one of them returned to the same site in October 2018. These represent second to fourth banding records and first reliable wintering records of Jack Snipe in Japan.
