Yellowlegs – I can remember this one! This is an easy shorebird to identify because of the yellow legs, the vocalization and the habitat(shallow water). This photo was taken on Fish Hatchery Road, December 23, 2011 in San Marcos, Texas. These birds migrate during winter from north of the continental U.S. to the southern and western U.S. coasts and South America. There is also a Greater Yellowlegs that is larger, but once you hear the call of a Lesser Yellowlegs and a Greater Yellowlegs then it is easy to tell them apart.
