Nebraska - Bird ID help (1 Viewer)

Greetings.

I'm looking for some help trying to ID a couple shorebirds. My first thought is yellowlegs...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best

Welcome to BirdForum. I agree that these are Yellowlegs. The bottom two pictures look fairly clear Lesser Yellowlegs. The top one, I'm a bit less sure about (assuming it's a different bird). If you have other photos, they may be helpful.

Agree with Andrew that the bottom 2 are Lesser Yellowlegs. The 1st one is a Greater, bill too robust and much longer than head, among other features.

I’d suggest Greater Yellowlegs for image one and Lesser for the remaining two.

Cheers

Such quick responses!!!

My initial thought was Greater for the top and Lesser for the bottom two, but I do not have much experience at all with these shorebirds so iDing is tough.

Thanks everyone.

Welcome to the forum, jaconrad. I concur with everyone else as to Greater, Lesser, and Lesser Yellowlegs.
