Subject: Greater Yellowlegs, Tringa melanoleuca

Location: Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge, Texas

Stock Number: MWK-29

Comments: I watched this bird in a south Texas pool as it engaged in some late fall feeding to replenish fat stores lost in the migration from Canada. He had to keep a wary eye out, because the Black-necked stilts would fly angrily at him if he ventured too close to their feeding area.
