Greater Yellowlegs at the Bear River MBR



The Greater Yellowlegs is captivating wading bird, often called the "marsh piper" because it has a habit of wading in deeper water than sandpipers.

These birds, with flashy yellow legs, sometimes chase small fish while foraging. In the photo above the first bird caught something, perhaps a small crustacean.

Generally, life is good.
