Lesser Yellowlegs taking off

Lesser Yellowlegs during a take off - New York

 

As it turned out, this past shorebird season was mostly about the yellowlegs for me😁

With tricky conditions in the recent years, I try not to concentrate on searching only for rare birds at the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge. Don’t take me wrong, I love seeing new/rare birds but I’m not that picky anymore. Any cooperative bird gets its chance to be photographed by me, not just rarities. Call me crazy but every outing on the mudflats @jamaicabayguardian is a treat for me Yellowlegs were very cooperative this season, at times walking at below the minimal focus distance of my lens🙈Also, I tried to take more “action shots” putting my new mirrorless camera system to the test. It performed pretty well and I will be sharing the results soon. Stay tuned!

 

Thank you in advance for kind comments!
