Quiscalus quiscula Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 For the yellowlegs, how are we ruling out Greater? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smittyone@cox.net Posted April 9 Author Share Posted April 9 The Yellowlegs' bill seems thinner and shorter, and (from other pics of this bird) the flanks don't seem to be very heavily marked. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
