Yellowlegs - Greater and Lesser

  I thought this might be my last shorebird themed post for this year but I might be wrong. I actually found a few more sandpipers to photograph today - November 12th.  It was unexpected and they were mixed in with a few songbird (passerine) species which had been my goal for the last week or so. More on that later. For now here are a few yellowlegs images, all shot on the same day, at the same location in early September.

Short-billed Dowitchers, a Turnstone and Least Sandpiper

A few more images from this past season of shooting shorebirds.  Maybe one more post and then it's on to other species, namely waterfowl and possibly some songbirds.

Shorebirds on Rocks

 A few of my remaining images of shorebirds from this past season of shooting. A lot of these featured birds on rocks so I thought I would lump them together as a theme.  Most or all of these were shot at high tide which is when you tend to find these birds roosting when feeding isn't an option for them. Among the birds featured here are Black-bellied Plovers, Greater Yellowlegs and Ruddy Turnstones.
