Common Greenshank
Caption on print: Greenshank
For
the background of this print, Audubon used Lehman's 1831 drawing of the
Castillo de San Marcos in St. Augustine. Many believe Audubon saw a Greater
Yellowlegs rather than a Greenshank. The bird was probably painted in
1835.
"While on Sand[y] Key, which is about six miles distant from Cape Sable
..., I shot three birds of this species on the 28th of May 1832."
