J M golston 1968 Lesser Yellow Legs Totanus flavipes Scolopacidae 17 Aug Holkham Bay Alaska 12:00 0.5 mi up Witch Creek - East of Bay Seen in the center of a dry sand bar, walking toward the stream edge. It walk- ed slowly - taking each step with caution. About every 2-3 seconds it would tilt its whole body back- wards so that tail would drop down + the head bob backwards. This was a quick bobbing motion. It entered the much deep water and began poke- ing its bill in the pebbly sand.
