Aquatic Birds

Lesser Yellowlegs

Another lifer. I was not able to get close but still got some documentation shots of a shore bird I'd not seen before. Also at the wastewater treatment plant. The lesser is a bit more slender than a greater yellowlegs. The lesser has a bill that is 1.5 x the length of its head. Not as heavily spotted on the flanks as the greater.
