This pair of shore birds, probably Lesser Yellowlegs, worked their way up a marsh inlet as the tide was going out, probing for breakfast.

Other Yellowlegs that I have seen actually have obvious yellow legs. I’m not sure if this pair is just too muddy to tell for sure or if it’s their age.

Or they are a different bird. The Merlin identification app also suggested they might be Long-billed Dowitchers.

They didn’t find much sustenance when I was watching, but they were pretty in the morning sun.
