I also was in Miner's Marsh for half-an-hour in late morning on Sept.  
7/12:

Miner's Marsh in Kentville in late morning: 2 lesser yellowlegs and 1  
solitary sandpiper, 1 belted kingfisher, several red-winged  
blackbirds, quite a few cabbage white butterflies and clouded?  
sulphur butterflies, 2 skimmer dragonflies in tandem with the red- 
bodied male coupled with a camouflaged yellow-brown female.

I startled one of those lesser yellowlegs at very close range (less  
than 5 metres), and its very loud and strident calls startled me (and  
my brand-new hearing aids!)  and made me think of a greater  
yellowlegs -- but I viewed that bird in close range and it was  
clearly a lesser.  Thus the diminutive lesser yellowlegs is capable  
of calls very similar to the greater, just compounding the  
identification problem with these similar species.

Cheers from Jim in Wolfville
