Stick figure



Also poised on one long leg was this Yellowlegs (Greater or Lesser I'm not sure), one of three I saw by the stream this morning. These birds are present wherever there is low ground or shallow water at the marsh.

  1. Hi Lois,
    I think it's a greater yellowlegs (long, slightly upcurved bill and thick leg-joint.)
    I'm glad you told me about your blogspot. Interesting photos, and I enjoy your chatty, informative commentary. Congratulations.

  2. Thanks for the identification, Mick. I'm not that familiar with shorebirds, and welcome any help I can get. And I'm happy you enjoy the blog. Lois
