Observation details
One bird seemed to me a good candidate for Lesser Yellowlegs, though after discussion with experts I’ve switched it to Greater. Good views from close range. Was initially struck by its small size; seemed distinctly smaller than Greater Yellowlegs (though none were present for a direct comparison). At one point there was a Willet feeding near it, and it seemed substantially smaller than that. Silent when it flew. Noting that the beak on this bird seems slightly upturned, which is a characteristic of Greater Yellowlegs.
