In my experience, I agree with all recordings.
3, 4 and 5 are typical lesser yellowlegs calls....
1& 2 typical Greater.....

Subject: [Nature Recordists] Yellowlegs
I wonder if you North American shorebird experts could help me with some
IDs. I have posted five files, Yellowlegs1 to Yellowlegs5, in the
naturerecordists Member Files folder. All five were recorded here in
Brazil. The recordists (which include myself) identified Yellowlegs1 and 2,=
visually, as Greater Yellowlegs and 3-5 as Lesser. However they all sound
rather alike to me and I wonder whether we confused these two similar
species. Can anyone confirm or correct these IDs?
