- A group of Yellowlegs are called a; Incontinence.
- These shore birds are active feeders seen running along catching fish and other fast moving aquatic prey.
- They breed in mosquito infested muskegs so they aren't studied much. Go figure.
- They have a swift direct flight, sometimes at great heights.
- The bill is slightly turned up compared to the lesser and the vocalization is different as well 2 quick whistles for the lesser and 3 or 4 piercing notes.
This year I am challenging my grand kids and their friends to a "Big Year". During 2013 we will be observing, identifying, and recording all our sightings of birds.
