Greater Yellowlegs, Tringa melanoleuca, Sandpiper. At ponds and tidal creeks, this trim and elegant wader draws attention to itself by bobbing its head and calling loudly when an observer approaches. In migration, the Greater Yellowlegs is common from coast to coast. Typically forages in shallow water. Often feeds very actively, sometimes running after minnows. May forage by walking forward while swinging its head back and forth with the tip of the bill in the water. Summer home at Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge on Cayuga Lake FingerLakes of NYS.
