Debbie Terry and I shorebirded the Flats yesterday.  Here's what we
found:

Killdeer:  13
Solitary:  7
Spotted:  3
Lesser Yellowlegs:  4
Greater Yellowlegs:  1 (probable, see below)
Least Sand:  6

The "probable" had the general size, shape and facial pattern of Greater
Yellowlegs.  Debbie had questions about bill shape (too thick), leg
color (light but not brilliant yellow) and leg length (too short).  I
think Gr. Yellowlegs does have a fairly thick bill, but agree on the
other points.  Greater Yellowlegs is still the most likely ID.
