Life at the Annapolis Royal Marsh: Stick figure

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.

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.

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

How to Post a Comment

It seems there's some confusion as to how to make a comment, so I hope these directions make it easier (I like getting feedback).

Step 1: Under any posting, click on "O comments" (or "1 comment" or "2 comments", whatever the case may be). A new window will open, titled "Post a Comment" above a big blank space.

Step 2: Under the big space you'll see "Comment as" followed by a small space with a little blue box at the right end with a "v" in it. Click on the "v", and a menu will drop down.

Step 3: Click on "Name/URL" in the menu, and another window will open, titled "Edit profile". Enter your name, and ignore the URL part. Click "Continue".

Step 4: Write your comment in the big box.

Step 5: Click "Post Comment" (or you can click "Preview" first if you want to edit your comment before posting)

That's it! 'Hope to hear from you.
