Jefferson County, CO today
Much smaller than the Avocet, but not as small as a peep. Longish bill. Not a Stilt or Pectoral (I think), so Dunlin perhaps?

I was watching an Orange-crowned Warbler in the same spot then noticed in photos that this bird is different, it seems to be a vireo. Is it possible to tell which one from the poor photos? Warbling would be most likely.
Thanks!

Got one poor photo of bird, thought at first it was a Townsend's but didn't quite fit, thought maybe a Blackburnian or Black-throated Green.
Thanks for your help!

Larger than a peep, upright posture, yellowish legs. Other feedback suggested Least Sandpiper but the bird didn't seem that small.
Great, thanks! I thought it might be, but had it in my head that phalaropes were much smaller compared to yellowlegs. Was pretty sure about the Greater, but thanks for the confirmation!

I wanted to confirm that most are Greater Yellowlegs and there seems to be a couple that are not, ID would be appreciated. I don't see shorebirds often enough to ID at a distance. Thanks!
