Color Pattern
Breeding Lesser Yellowlegs are grayish brown birds with vivid yellow legs. They have fine, gray streaking across the head and neck, a white eye ring, and white spots on the back and wings. Nonbreeding birds are more subdued gray-brown with less streaking and spotting. Bill is entirely dark.
The Lesser Yellowlegs has a graceful, high-stepping gait as it moves deftly across mudflats and marshes. Flight is buoyant and relaxed, with legs extending beyond the tail.
Wetland habitats ranging from tidal flats to sewage ponds to flooded fields; often in the company of other shorebird species. Breeds in open forests and meadows interspersed with marshes and bogs.

I was sitting next to a small marshy area photographing some other birds when two Lesser Yellowlegs flew in to join us. I watched and photographed as they went about their business of finding food as they walked quickly around the marsh looking for things to eat.
