Lesser Yellowlegs

Tringa flavipes

Very similar to the Greater Yellow-legs, the Lesser Yellow-Legs is about half the weight of the Greater. Bill length is shorter as well. Nesting for this bird is more northward and winter range is more southerly than its larger cousin. I met this bird often on its nesting grounds when I was traveling through the Yukon and Alaska.
