There was a group of four Lesser Yellowlegs wading and feeding in the creek. In this image, an occasional gust of wind did manage to ruffle some feathers in this bird.
While I was on the bridge overlooking the creek, the birds approached closer. Good news.
I made several images from the bridge. Later, crossing the bridge, I made my way to the far bank and approached the riverside. After waiting for several minutes, a pair of Yellowlegs made their way closer.
This was a much better location, because reflections from the vegetation along the river bank created nice background for the images.
In this image, one bird had his bill opened as it approached me.
It was really great to see the birds on a really windy day.
