Tony M 2 Posted July 9 I believe this is a Greater Yellowlegs but wanted to confirm. Photo taken yesterday on the CT side of the Long Island Sound. Both photos of the same bird. Thanks!

atxrvabyrd 10 Posted July 9 My impulse is to say Greater due to what I see as a long, heavy, blunt bill and distinct barring on the flanks. Also, there seem to be more reports of Greaters over the past two months on the CT coast than Lessers. That said, I'd wait for others to chime in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tony M 2 Posted July 10 Thanks for the ID, the longer bill is what made me think greater too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redcoot 116 Posted July 12 I also agree with Greater Yellowlegs, based on the length of the bill in comparison to their heads. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
