Messed up shorebirds

Check out these photos of a Short-billed Dowitcher on the weekend. Looks like it narrowly escaped death.

Here is a Lesser Yellowlegs. It has one good leg, and one dead leg hanging off of it.

Pretty scary!

I see lots of shorebirds with one leg, partial leg, etc. Must be those snapping turtles?
