I'm pretty sure this is the same bird as post #1994, but it's got darker legs. Must be from standing in the muck.

Brought a friend over to see Yellowlegs. It was in a better spot than my other post.

I'm thinking that might a solitary sandpiper , the wingtips don't seem to extend far enough past the tail.

The e-bird alert I received lists it as Semipalmated Sandpiper, but that has a dark beak and legs. What about a Least Sandpiper? Or better yet just a sandpiper.

Interesting bird, the lesser yellowlegs I shot this weekend are farther along into summer plumage , the base of the bill has an orange tinge. Hmmm

I think it is a pectoral; they have yellow legs, a sharp contrast between the marked breast and the white belly, as here, and a very slightly down-turned beak. They are common in migration in your area

Short story is I'm still trying to figure out exposure with my Nikon D3200 and 70-300 mm lens. Today was quite overcast, but I tried to capture this one. ....Hawk?
