Not too sure if this is a yellowlegs. But not sure if this one is a less or greater.

Awesome shots. Those yellow legs sure are cool.

Some advice I have heard online from a lot of other photogs, so take it for whatever it's worth, but you might want to think about losing the watermark or at least making it a lot less conspicuous. Most can be removed with photoshop or cropped off so the argument is that they don't really protect your images and they kinda make them look busy.

Just some food for thought.

Great pics. I can't wait to photograph these ones myself!

It looks like a Greater Yellowlegs, with long a fairly thick bill and barring on the sides of the body.

Nice pictures, particularly of the Dunlin.
