Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs comparison ~ May 17, 2022

My last stop of the day was at Green Pond where I was lucky to get a nice series of flight shots of a Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs together. On the Greater Yellowlegs, note the larger size, heavy barring running down the sides almost to the tail, and the much longer bill, which has food in it.
A Blackpoll Warbler was at the little pond next to the house.

The Bufflehead continued in the flooded field area.
