Information about the Greater Yellowlegs:

The Greater Yellowlegs is a large North American shorebird. They are generally found in and around freshwater ponds and tidal marshes. It is about 14″ (36 cm) long with a wingspan of 23.6 inches (60 cm.) Adults have long yellow legs and a long, thin, dark bill which has a slight upward curve and is longer than the head. These birds forage in shallow water, sometimes using their bills to stir up the water. They mainly eat insects and small fish, as well as crustaceans and marine worms. It often walks in sand or mud and leaves clear tracks; it can be possible to gather information about this species using its tracks. The call is harsher than that of the Lesser Yellowlegs.

Artist’s notes:

The Greater Yellowlegs was completed on 1.16.2014. My good friend Adam recently purchased a boat, which he keeps at a marina near Alameda, California. I’ve been able to go out on it a few times, and yesterday we headed out into the channel between Alameda and Oakland. We noted a lot of shorebirds, and it reignited my interest in drawing the birds of the area, and I decided to make a collage of these birds. The drawing is based on a photo by Gail West and was used with permission.
