Title: shorebird ID
Post by: dizzy on August 29, 2015, 05:17:58 PM

Hi,

I'm guessing either Lesser Yellowlegs or nonbreeding Willets. Found at Tommy Thompson Park.

Please help ID.

Thanks for looking.

Looks like Lesser Yellowlegs. Definitely not Willets. They have very prominent and distinctive wing markings in all plumages.
