Greater Yellowlegs in a lodgepole pine tree

Echo Cove

I ran into a pair of yellowlegs in a muskeg meadow. I'm guessing that is where they nest because as I approached I was dived on by both birds. Took a hasty retreat and photographed from a safe distance. Shorebirds really look out of place standing in a tree! :)

What a cool find. The nest with the babes would even be cooler. Nice shot here. Ron

Nice find and image Doug. I've never seen one perched in a tree.
