A very cooperative yellowlegs (7)

[squirl033]

I was photographing pelicans the other day, when this greater yellowlegs flew in and let me get within 30 feet or so to shoot it for 20 minutes while it foraged along the edge of a channel. It was joined by a second one that seemed to act like a youngster, following the first bird around and pestering like it wanted to be fed. These are easily the closest, and best, shots of a yellowlegs I've ever gotten...

Nice. All the yellowlegs I have gotten were just standing around. Never seen them hunt before.
