    SW Florida USA - Yellowlegs

    As much as I try, I still have trouble telling my lesser from my greater yellowlegs. Seen at the Ding Darling Preserve on Sanibel Island, Florida during December. Thanks!

    SW Florida, USA - which Yellowlegs?

    Seen this evening at the Estero Bay Preserve. Also, what's with the black dot on the chest? Is that a mating thing? I don't recall having seen that before. Many thanks!

    Greater or lesser Yellowlegs

    Seen today, 4/29/21 at Lee Metcalf NWR near Stevensville, Montana. Looks like lesser to me but lesser is relatively rare in the area compared to the more common greater. Bird in background is a gadwall for reference.

    Foggy morning with Mr. Lesser Yellowlegs (I think)

    I went out early this morning, and expected a clear sky for the sunrise. However, the weatherman was wrong. It was overcast and foggy instead. I could barely get my phone to focus on anything through my Diascope, but eventually it lifted just enough to fiddle around with a few shots. I was...

    Willet and Greater Yellowlegs

    Taken at the Martin Luther King Jr. Regional Shoreline (Oakland, CA, USA) at about about 20m. Willets, Yellowlegs, and Godwits are often seen flocking together in this area, so not a surprise to see these two cousins together.

    I dare not say if this bird is a greater or lesser. I heard no call and had no comparison. I'm leaning toward the lesser. Is there an expert in the house?
