Lesser YellowLegs
Uploaded: October 06, 2011
f/8 1/500sec ISO 125 70-300@300mm
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. #9721367Mike Clime October 07, 2011
