I went to Little Estero Lagoon today (SW Florida) and took photos of these birds. Can one of you expert birders tell me the proper name? They looked to me to be about the size of a small crow and were in a huddled flock. Thanks.

Thanks guys. I never heard of a willet! I gotta write that down before I forget. Ray, I took it with the 300f4 Canon I bought on FM buy and sell last week on the 40d body I bought on FM a couple of months ago!

They are clearly the famous "Long Billed One Legged Mud Standers"

Hope that helps.....
