Greater Yellowlegs
Tringa melanoleuca
Greater Yellowlegs breed in Southern Alaska and the middle latitudes of Canada, in wetlands (bogs, lakes, or ponds) with nearby trees for perching. Many spend winter months along the east and west coasts of North America. Others winter well inland in the southern USA, most of Mexico, Central America and the entire continent of South America.
At a distance or without a reliable size comparison, it is a tricky proposition to different the Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs. While the general appearance of each bird is similar, the Lesser Yellowlegs is smaller and the bill length is shorter, relative to the head. Their vocalizations are nearly the same. Though some observers have described the calls of the Greater Yellowlegs as harsher, louder and clearer, than the Lesser Yellowlegs.
Modern science regards the Greater Yellowlegs as monotypic (i.e. no subspecies).
I missed meeting Greater Yellowlegs on their breeding grounds during my 2005 Alaska and 2022 Canada expeditions. Though I ran into Lesser Yellowlegs on both trips. Lesser Yellowlegs breed further north than the Greater Yellowlegs. My photo opportunities of Greater Yellowlegs on their winter grounds have been in California, Oregon, Nevada, Arizona, and Texas.

Description: Foraging on the frozen mud and shallow water seemed fruitful for some of the birds I met on the reserve. I first visited Bitterlake NWR outside of Roswell New Mexico in April 2020. This visit was a winter sampling of the reserve’s wildlife. |

Greater Yellowlegs(Tringa melanoleuca) |
|
Description: A single Greater Yellowlegs foraged in the shallow mudflats that used to be the Rookery Pond. The world famous Bosque del Apache may not be the center of the geese and crane universe today that it once was, but it can still provide a few thrills. A tour on this Tuesday in December taught me this lesson. |
