Yellowlegs Bird - Photograph

This is 1 of 2 posts of photographs that I took at Southport Beach in Fairfield, CT this past week.

I don't know if these were Lesser or Greater Yellowlegs. They stop off in this area twice a year: once in the Spring, when they are migrating north, and once in the Fall, when they are migrating south. I was fortunate to spot them, because they blend in with the background.

The first photo is my entry for the following:

Beautiful bird life.

I'm on the west coast of Canada. We have been getting a lot of rain in the past week. There was a break today but more rain on the way. I heard it is an El Nino year in late 2018 and into 2019 and it usually brings warmer and wetter winters.

Yes, Anne. I'm sure these are Greater Yellowlegs rather than Lesser Yellowlegs. Nice camera work.

The Yellowlegs is a bird I've yet to see in the wild. Your pictures make me very jealous.

Yellowlegs are so similar in colors they ARE difficult to tell them apart. Terrific photos!
