smittyone@cox.net Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Seen yesterday at Loess Bluffs NWR in NW Missouri. This one was in the same location as the Lesser Yellowlegs posted earlier, but about 6 hours later. And in the 3rd photo, what are the two shorebirds in front of the Yellowlegs? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m an expert at distinguishing the yellowlegs species when I see one of each standing next to each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
