These Short-billed Dowitcher were found at the edge of a pond at the Oceanside Marine Nature Study Area. I had to shoot over a low bush to photograph them.

Thank you Ron,
It was tricky getting nice compositions with all the clutter around them. I'm glad you like the way I was able to compromise

Very nice photos, but these appear to be Short-billed Dowitchers, not Lesser Yellowlegs.

Yes, I was going to also come in with the ID comment but Longleaf beat me to it. Great images Morris despite some tougher environmental shooting conditions.

Thank you Longleaf,
That explains why one appeared quite red. They pass through here quite fast and usually earlier so I did not even think of them

Thank you Geoff,
The challenges are part of what makes if fun. I'll be photographing big fast flying machines today and don't expect any obstructions
