sbruenjes Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 OK, I have a few more that have me confused. I saw these birds last week at a wildlife refuge in Ocean County New Jersey. In the first pick, is the bird on the left a willet and on the right a yellow legs or spotted sandpiper? Are the big gulls in the second pic Herring gulls? I think those are avocet behind a forsters tern in the third pic.. I didn't even notice the avocet when I was trying to get the gull.. that was a peasant surprise. And is the next tern a gull billed tern? Are the flying birds whimbrel? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akandula Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 All your IDs are correct, except the first image is two Lesser Yellowlegs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The avocets are juveniles, with their gray heads and not-finished-growing bills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
