Nicely done Stan, wish more of them would show up around here.

Thanks, Sharon. Texas seems to have enough to share.

Great shot Stan. I'm thinking this is probably a Greater Yellowlegs with that long, heavy, slightly upturned bill.

Thanks, Chuck. You may be right. I just took a stab at it (and I've missed before).

Good morning Stan... This beauty would have "blue legs" up here ... pretty bird and shots... been enjoying all your travels through your words & images.

Thanks, Dave. I thought spring had arrived up there. Guess not.

VERY nice capture Stan. I agree with the Greater Yellowlegs ID.

I hope your travels are going well, be safe.

Appreciate it, Steve, especially the ID confirmation. Unless the Greater & Lesser are together, I never know for sure.
