It's always so fun running across an unexpected bird. It was a treat to spot this spotted sandpiper and get a few pictures of him.
You can tell it is breeding season for him by the clearly visible spots on his belly and his orange beak.
Note the big, round tummy on this one, and the white streak above the eye. These are typical features of the spotted sandpiper.
They are often a solitary wanderers on the shores rivers and ponds.
