Lesser Yellowlegs - Jamaica Bay, NYC
Lesser Yellowlegs during a take off:
Lesser Yellowlegs ( Tringa flavipes ) - Jamaica Bay WR, Queens, NYC, USA
As it turned out, this past shorebird season was mostly about the yellowlegs for meš
With tricky conditions in the recent years, I try not to concentrate on searching only for rare birds at the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge. Donāt take me wrong, I love seeing new/rare birds but Iām not that picky anymore. Any cooperative bird gets its chance to be photographed by me, not just rarities. And every outing there is a treat for me. Yellowlegs were very cooperative this season, at times walking at below the minimal focus distance of my lensšAlso, I tried to take more āaction shotsā putting my new mirrorless camera system to the test. It performed pretty well and I will be sharing more results soon. Stay tuned!
