I came across this very skittish shorebird on my early morning walk around Wascana Lake.
He was all alone and bobbing for food near the shoreline. He only posed for a minute and didn't seem to like my presence.

A perfect capture of the YellowLegs. I know how hard they are to photograph. In this shot he appears too large to be a "lesser," but there is no other piper here for comparison. #9721367
