According to Cornell, I'm smaller than a Willet
Cornell also says I'm larger than a Lesser Yellowlegs
But you can only tell if you see me standing with it.
(Note: This kind of comparison has always driven me a little crazy. If I don't know how big a Black-necked Stilt is, there is a good chance I won't know how big a Willet or Lesser Yellowlegs is either. In general, I think it would be much better to compare bird size to non bird objects such as, a can of beer, a six-pack, a case of beer or a keg of beer.)
