Identification Confidence
somewhat confident
Observation Date / Time
Did not take the time to closely scrutinize the carcass as the shoulder is non-existent on this stretch of Cordelia. Fairly confident it is a Lesser Yellowlegs but shorebirds have always been my downfall! I definitely would not have seen this carcass if I was not on my bicycle. Note: this carcass is only a few meters from the raccoon carcass, which is slowly degrading.
