StFreud Posted October 7, 2009 Share #3 Posted October 7, 2009 I agree with Wilfredo, Peter. And the bird has a perfect bearing - perhaps it is a sportsman;) Stefan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildlightphoto Posted October 8, 2009 Share #10 Posted October 8, 2009 Very nice photo. I believe the paler bill coloration at the base indicates Greater Yellowlegs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The master has spoken. It is a greater yellowlegs. Thanks for the correction and your comment, Doug. Thank you, gentlemen, for all your generous comments as well. Stuart, I think my photo server (Smugmug) must have had a hiccup when you checked. The picture is visible now, so I hope you can see it now, too.
