A Yellowlegs Gathering
Lesser (Tringa flavipes) and Greater Yellowlegs (Tringa melanoleuca)
| Lesser (Tringa flavipes) and Greater Yellowlegs (Tringa melanoleuca), Order Charadriiformes, Family Scolopacidea, Subfamily Scolopacinae. Shown together, it is pretty easy to tell the Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs apart. That is, if I got the species identification correct! There were literally hundreds of shorebirds feeding in the mudflats on Saturday, Sep 11 in the Shaker Trace Wetlands in the Miami Whitewater Forest area in SW Ohio.
