Lesser or Greater Yellowlegs

[cybertec69]

Hard to tell them apart, a few from this morning using my recently acquired D850 and Sigma 500mm f4 sport and the MagMod wildlife extender fill flash during dark overcast morning skies, shots are hand held, the rain came down hard and steady half hour later.

And a few BIF shots from the other day, D850 and Sigma 500mm f4 sport hands held. Still getting used to shooting the D850 hand held, need to polish up on my technique, since the D850's 45 megapixel sensor is less forgiving than the D500's 20 megapixel sensor.

Nice group of images. I like the reflections in the flight shots.

The first two are definitely Greater YLs, and those in the other three *most * *exquisite* shots might be also; must only add Wow!

BIF #2...Outstanding! Maybe I'm going to have to become a subscribing member, so I can get some hints from exif...whatever that is.

that 1st BIF is a WOW

Nice shots. The standing bird is a Solitary Sandpiper. The flying birds look consistent with Lesser Yellowlegs.
