A bird wades in very still water. The bird is flecked brown and white with a white belly and yellow legs. The bird is mirrored in the water below.
My choice for @robcrank68.bsky.social’s #BirdOfTheDay theme of #reflections is this #LesserYellowlegs mirrored in the still water. #birds #WildlifePhotography #ECK

#WaderWednesday Mostly a guess, going off of the size. Merlin tells me that I've got 2 #GreaterYellowlegs and 2 #LesserYellowlegs hunting in the mud. Spring thaw 2008, farmers field backing on to #LakeSimcoe feeder river.

Good company with Mr @exebirder.bsky.social

"A slender shorebird is captured mid-flight above a rippling body of water. Its wings are fully outstretched, revealing a striking pattern of alternating dark and light feathers. The bird’s plumage is a soft gray-brown on top, with clean white underparts that catch the light. Its long, straight beak points forward with purpose, and its bright orange legs trail behind like twin brushstrokes of motion. The water below shimmers with textured reflections—silver, slate, and hints of sky—creating a dynamic backdrop that contrasts with the bird’s focused glide. The moment feels suspended, as if the bird is both soaring and still, held aloft by ceremony and instinct. This is likely a Lesser Yellowlegs, a shorebird known for its elegant proportions and high-stepping gait. In this image, it becomes a sovereign emissary of the Ministry of Unexpected Perches, caught in a moment of mythic transit." - Microsoft Copilot
Time to Move
I was edging too close to this Lesser Yellowlegs (Tringa flavipes) at a quiet, secluded pond on the outskirts of Albany, Georgia—so it took flight.

Yellowlegs
As fall settles in, the chorus of birds grows quieter each week. But these yellowlegs are still here, hopping gracefully from rock to rock along the river.

Two birds are featured in photograph. Larger bird center right, with wings extended into the air forming a "V" is facing forward, with their head turned to the left centering their attention on a much smaller bird to the left. The Lesser Yellowlegs also have their wings raised above their head in a V as if about to take flight. The smaller bird is facing right looking right. Both are standing in shallow water with a few grasses in the foreground.
Happy mid-week friends... a quick reminder: no one is safe in the marsh if a parent Black-necked Stilt deems you too close to their young--even if said young are on the other side of the pond. #birds #ohbirding #wildlife #Naturephotography #BlackneckedStilts #LesserYellowlegs
🌎 Lesser yellowlegs (Tringa flavipes) The lesser yellowlegs is a slender, medium-sized shorebird characterised by its striking bright yellow legs and a thin, straight, dark bill. In breeding plumage, it's grayish-brown with fine streaking on the head and neck, and white spots on the back. Non-breeding birds are a more subdued gray-brown. They breed across the boreal forests of Alaska and Canada. During migration, they move south, wintering along the coasts of the southern United States, the Caribbean, and throughout South America. They are also a regular vagrant to Western Europe. Lesser Yellowlegs typically forage in shallow water, picking at items on or just below the surface, sometimes sweeping their bill through the water. They are often found in loose flocks and are known for their distinctive two-note "tu-tu" call. 2.5 Flash (Edited) No subspecies are recognised.

From Allaboutbirds.org, The Lesser Yellowlegs is a dainty and alert "marshpiper" that occurs in shallow, weedy wetlands and flooded fields across North America during migration. It's smaller with a shorter, more needlelike bill than the Greater Yellowlegs, but otherwise looks very similar.
Happy Midweek friends, these Lesser Yellowlegs are here to greet you... #birds #ohbirding #wildlife #Naturephotography #HowardMarsh #LesserYellowlegs

"The image captures two shorebirds standing gracefully in shallow water at the edge of a calm body of water. The bird on the left is a lesser yellowlegs, while the one on the right is a greater yellowlegs. Their slender bills and yellow legs are their standout features. The water ripples gently around them, and their reflections shimmer below. The scene has a peaceful quality, with the birds seemingly lost in their natural rhythm. The image is signed "© Swede's Photographs" in the bottom right corner." - Copilot

Lesser yellowlegs flying over marsh against a blue shy. Very similar to it's cousin, the greater yellowlegs. It's song, overall size and length of beak give it away.
Meet the Lesser Yellowlegs
Not common site, as it's one of our winter resident shorebirds.
