I need help with this bird. I thought it was a yellow leg. But am not sure.
It's a short-billed dowitcher (10"-12" long). Since it's a northern Canadian summer resident, it's probably in migration.

That is a tough one. From what I see, I would say Long-billed Dowitcher.

Wow - the LONG-billed one must have a really LONG bill!

Since there seems to be a disagreement as to whether this is the Short-billed Dowitcher and Long-billed Dowitcher, I Googled both and found these images. This should settle the issue.

Thank you for your help. I never heard of this bird before. I am just a new bird watcher.
