Very nice! The 3rd one is beautiful with the reflection in the water. Is that  a greater yellow legs?

Denis, I would have to say the GBH shot is one of the best pics you've ever posted.
The bird, water, rocks and vegetation all come together to make a magnificent photo!

Nice pictures! I would say number 3 is a Greater Yellowlegs as the bill looks fairly long and thick.

thanks sahria
thanks tom,as always for the proper ID
this bird shot was taken at the lagoons in port perry,and i suspected it was a greater,as there were 2 other yellow leggs nearby,that appeared much smaller.

Very nice set Denis.  I'm partial to the yellowlegs.  You've really mastered the IF's - I wish some of it would rub off :)

thanks.
the only reason i kept the shot,was the reflection,as the light wasn,t too good that day.
