Description
Willet's are part of the sandpiper family and a close relative to the lesser yellow legs. They are distinguished by their dark gray bodies above and light underneath. The tail is white with a dark band at the end. The distinctive black and white pattern of the wings is a common sight along many North American coastal beaches. These Western Willet's breed in freshwater marshes and prairies of western North America often in colonies they forage for insects, crustaceans, worms, and plants. I found these three along the San Diego River. Fine Art America watermark will not appear on purchased artwork.
