A bird with a name like Lesser Yellow Legs must have something to show for it. Indeed it has bright yellow legs, which are shorter than those of the Greater Yellow Legs, but still quite long, making it stand out among the birds of the marshes. I saw one while it was searching for food.
The next instant it was half submerged in water.

Really great photos, especially the one of the yellowlegs holding the fish that it caught! I didn’t know that they ate fish, I thought that their diet was insects and other things. I love it when a photo teaches me about nature!

Those long legs are perfect for wading in marshy areas.
