Greater Yellowlegs
The picture of this Greater Yellowlegs was taken at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge. One of the most ubiquitous shorebirds in North America, the Greater Yellowlegs restricts itself as a breeder to swampy muskeg habitats of central Canada and southern Alaska. During the nonbreeding season, it inhabits fresh and saline wetlands across the Americas.
The picture was taken with a CANON EOS7D with a 100-400mm lens at the “Raunch” on the East Pond at Jamaica Bay Wildlfie Refuge.
