Back to Normal (5 bird pics)

Scottes · 11th of September 2004 (Sat)

I'm out of stories for the night.

I saw these. I focused. I clicked the shutter.

Bunch Greater Yellow Legs and Least Sandpipers.

ID Tip: When seen in profile Greater Yellow Legs have beaks which are longer then their heads. Lesser Yellow Legs beaks are shorter than their heads. If seen together, LYLs are *slightly* smaller, but this is indiscernible unless you see them together.

Least Sandpipers look like the small birds you can barely see in this picture. They're about the size of most plovers, but look nothing like a plover. Their coloring is similar to the GYLs.

Some bird that I don't have time to look up.

Great White Egrets in flight.
They're commonly seen with snowy egrets, which are smaller birds with yellow feet and black (or usually darker) beaks. Snowy Egrets also have "plumes" of feathers on their head and at the bottom of their breast.

I'm getting tired of these "standard egret posing" shots. Unless it's somehow stupendous, this is the last one you'll see from me for a while.

Scotte, I think the second shot is a "CatBird".
Those two Egrets in flight are Fantastic!
