Lesser Yellowlegs... Tringa flavipes Although our back yard was heavily flooded this spring, it brought about many birds that we normally would not see, such as this sweet little Lesser Yellowlegs.

The Lesser Yellowlegs

The Lesser Yellowlegs is a medium-sized shorebird similar in appearance to the larger Greater Yellowlegs. It is not closely related to this bird, however, but instead to the much larger and quite dissimilar Willet; merely the fine, clear and dense pattern of the neck shown in breeding plumage indicates these species' actual relationships.
