common in almost all localities as its 
smaller relative the lesser yellowlegs. 
It is still fairly numerous in the coastal 
vicinities of New York and most of the 
New England States, especially during 
the spring migration, but within recent 
years it has learned through many bit¬ 
ter lessons to avoid a good bit of our 
shore line on the return migration, and 
many flocks may be seen during Au¬ 
gust and September ./ay out to sea and 
well out of range of gunners. This 
fact has been an important item in 
checking the diminution of this species. 
To offset this advantage, however, the 
greater yellowlegs is very readily de¬ 
coyed by even a tolerably fair imitation 
of its four-note whistle, and a solitary 
bird on answering this call will fre¬ 
quently summon the members of all its 
species within hearing distance inside 
of a few moments, much to the joy of 
the gunners concealed in their blinds. 
When a flock of these birds is shot into, 
great confusion reigns, and the various 
members scatter far and wide, but a 
reassuring whistle or two from the 
hunter will bring most of them back 
within shooting distance. 
Though it is definitely known that 
the greater yellowlegs does not winter 
as far north as do most species of 
shore birds, much still remains to be 
learned regarding the exact location of 
their summer home. The winter range 
most commonly selected is Chile and 
Argentina. The average appearance 
of the earliest fall arrivals in the vicin¬ 
ity of Long Island is about July 20th. 
The largest flocks appear in August 
and are most common in this locality 
during September and October. 
Lesser or Summer Yellowlegs: The 
coloration of this species is almost 
identical to that of its larger relative 
described above. Its size, however, is 
about one-third smaller, averaging 
slightly less than eleven inches in 
length. The bill, too, is slightly shorter, 
measuring two inches in most speci¬ 
mens. 
As previously intimated, this species 
is extremely rare along the Atlantic 
seaboard during the spring migration 
due to the fact that it takes the Mis¬ 
sissippi Valley route at this season, 
but it is still very common, at least in 
some localities of the New England 
and Middle Atlantic States during the 
fall migration. It is by no means as 
common as in former years, however, 
for as many as a thousand birds or 
more were shot by single hunters in 
one season during the early seventies. 
Its habits are very similar to those 
of the larger species, except that it 
decoys possibly even more easily, the 
last remaining members of a flock be¬ 
ing sometimes repeatedly called to 
within gunshot after all the others 
have been killed.
