Lesser Yellowlegs
Tringa flavipes

I'm used to seeing a lot of good birds at Palmyra Cove, but I have to admit that seeing a Solitary Sandpiper and this Lesser Yellowlegs in an ephemeral pond in September was a bit of a surprise.

Looks like that area would have plenty of food for both of them. LOL

nice sharp shot and good reflection.
I know how you feel Ridgefield NWR is at least 70 miles from the coast line but this time of year we usually get a few yellowlegs and other shore birds visiting.

Very nice capture. And how right you are about its location. I wonder if they're just lost or curious about other locations when they do this.
