The lesser yellowlegs (Tringa flavipes) is a medium-sized shorebird in the sandpiper family, Scolopacidae. It is migratory, breeding in the wetlands of the boreal forest across Alaska and northern Canada, and wintering in a region from coastal North America through Central America, the Caribbean and South America. It is 23–25 cm (9.1–9.8 in) long with a wingspan of 59–64 cm (23–25 in), and has yellow legs and a slender, straight bill. The species forages actively in shallow water and on land, feeding mainly on invertebrates, small fish and crustaceans. Both parents incubate the eggs and care for the young. It is classified as a vulnerable species by the IUCN, with threats including hunting during migration, habitat loss and degradation, and the possible effects of climate change on its breeding habitat. This lesser yellowlegs was photographed in Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge, New York City, United States.Photograph credit: Rhododendrites
