The
Greater Yellowlegs (Tringa melanoleuca) Adults
have long yellow legs and a long, thin, dark bill which has a slight upward
curve and is longer in length than the head. The body is gray brown on top and
white underneath; the neck and breast are streaked with dark brown. The rump is
white. Their
breeding habitat is bogs and marshes in the boreal forest region of Canada and
Alaska. They nest on the ground, usually in well-hidden locations near water. They
migrate to the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of the United States and south to
South America. They are very rare vagrants to western Europe. These
birds forage in shallow water, sometimes using their bill to stir up the water.
They mainly eat insects and small fish, as well as crustaceans and marine worms. The
call of this bird is harsher than that of the Lesser Yellowlegs. |
