Ottawa - I don't need more Yellowlegs pictures but I couldn't pass up this setting and the light. There is very little crop on this picture. The bird was close.

Ottawa - When a Peregrine swooped onto the beach, the shorebirds froze. This yellowlegs dropped into the water (which was only three inches deep) and at one point was barely above the surface, with only part of the head and back exposed. It remained in this position for 20 minutes after the falcon had moved on.

Ottawa-Shirley's Bay. Now that's something you don't see every day. The bird flipped this leech around for a couple of minutes trying to knock it out. It eventually swallowed it. Impressive.

Ingleside - It is not always easy to tell Greater from Lesser Yellowlegs if you do not have a direct size comparison. Call notes help and I did have those with this bird. Some Greaters have a slightly upturned bill towards the end but this bird does not. Bill length is a useful guide. In the Lesser, the bill from base to tip is about the same length as the width of the head. In the Greater it can be almost 50% longer than the width of the head.
