What am I looking at here? I know they are Yellowlegs. Is it a Greater and a Lesser?

First impressions are one of each! At any rate, I'm pretty sure the bird nearest the camera is a Greater.

Picture editing is OK. CC always welcome.

Paul...I like this shot but it needed some work to make it a wallhanger. Hope you don't mind the edit. I will remove it after you see it, just let me know.:D
