Description
Graceful Lesser Yellowlegs by Debra Martz
The Lesser Yellowlegs is a slender, long-legged shorebird that readily shows off its brightly colored legs that give it its name. This gracefully moving shorebird is actually a very active feeder. It was difficult keeping up with it as it was running through the shallow water to chase its prey. It is a medium sized, 10-1/2", migratory bird and many spend fall into spring in south Texas where I captured this image.
Scientific name: Tringa Flavipes
