Both Greater(2) and Lesser Yellowlegs(3) were feeding side-by-side at a 
pond/temporary mudflat adjacent to the Greenbelt trail at the end of 
Stoneybrook Pl off of W. Stone Drive in Kingsport, Sullivan Co, Tennessee this 
morning giving a good opportunity for comparing field markings and size.  When 
side-by-side the Greater appears much larger and with a much heavier and more 
upturned bill.  Also present was one female Blue-winged Teal.

Two Yellow-crowned Night Herons were present on a nest at the Tranbarger Drive 
location this morning (also in Kingsport, Sullivan County).
