The Greater Yellowlegs is a large shorebird found in North America, known for its long legs and distinctive yellow coloration. It typically measures about 13 to 15 inches in length and has a slender body with a long, straight bill. These birds are often seen in wetlands, mudflats, and along shorelines, where they forage for insects, crustaceans, and small fish. During migration, the Greater Yellowlegs travels between its breeding grounds in Canada and the northern United States to wintering areas in the southern United States and Central America. They are often spotted in groups and are known for their loud, wading calls, which can be heard during their breeding season.
