Looking at my images: the beak is only about 2 times the head diameter and the base of the beak is dark not pale as on greater. The lesser of two yellowlegs I presume.
The Cackling Geese were going, the Tree Swallows were arriving.
As the swallows checked out the row of nest boxes, they saw that at least two pairs of House Sparrows were also in the real estate market.
