Details: female, adult, outside normal range

This morning, I took a shoot of photo as if a hariy woodpepecker. After examined the photo, the underside was not a typical hairy woodpepecker. It turns out to be an american three-toed woodpecker. What is a suprise because Toronto was not in their range map.

Greater Yellowlegs (37)

Tringa melanoleuca

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.

This morning I saw this bird acting as a woodpecker but the size was too small. I knew this is a creeper because it ascended on a tree trunk. In the afternoon, I saw the another creeper in my backyard.
