Greater or Lesser Yellowlegs?
I haven’t yet been able to find a way to quickly and accurately distinguish between greater yellowlegs (Tringa melanoleuca) and lesser yellowlegs (Tringa flavipes). So for now, when I’m sure I know what I’m seeing, I’ll post on the greater yellowlegs page or the lesser yellowlegs page (not yet created), but when I’m not sure, on this page!
I believe this is a lesser yellowlegs, Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge, August 2, 2022.

Lots and lots of yellowlegs at Broad Channel, near the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge, September 13, 2019.
These yellowlegs were photographed near Cross Bay Boulevard and at the East Pond at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge on September 13, 2019.
