Anne Elliott's photos with the keyword: Greater Yellowlegs

It was such a treat for me to have the chance to see a few shore birds and ducks, and close enough to photograph. Friends Dorothy and Stephen invited me to go with them to the Irrigation Canal in the city on 15 October 2012, where we saw several Greater Yellowlegs and Hooded Mergansers. It was very overcast weather, but I managed to get a handful of photos that were just about OK with a bit of help from post processing : ) www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/greater_yellowlegs/id en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_Yellowlegs

A highly cropped image, but it's so rare for me to see shorebirds, let alone get a photo : ) Photographed in Fish Creek Park, Boat Launch area, in a manmade pond near Highway 22X yesterday. Not sure if this was a Greater Yellowlegs or Lesser, but I think maybe a Greater. I wasn't expecting my photo to come out at all, so I guess I wasn't listening carefully enough to the ID that was given, ha.
