cccougar Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 The leggy shorebirds can be tough to identify, for me anyway. I took this recently in South Carolina's Bear Island WMA in the ACE Basin. I suspect it's a Stilt Sandpiper but may be wrong. Thank you, in advance, for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akandula Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) That's actually a Lesser Yellowlegs. Stilt Sandpipers have droopy bills. Edited May 21, 2020 by akandula 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Cochrane Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) This looks better for yellowlegs, I’m thinking lesser by Bill width and size. Edited May 21, 2020 by Connor Cochrane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cccougar Posted May 21, 2020 Author Share Posted May 21, 2020 Great call, thank you you two! My photos don't really pick up the yellow legs that well, but upon closer inspection I do see some that coloring. I appreciate the quick and accurate help!
