Yellow Legs in Flight
I’ve seen an abundance of Yellow Legs lately and caught this one taking off and flying away at close range. My camera did a very good job of keeping the focus locked on.

Yellow Legs
The elusive Yellow Legs can be hard to find and difficult to shoot as they dart around so much. They typically hang out near the weeds along the shore line. Was fortunate to have one very close to me at Bolivar. He was attracted to the area right in front of me when the Snowys and Avocets moved in to feed. Very little cropping on these shots.
