Spotted Sandpiper

I like to take a 12 mile loop that covers all of the local lakes from my house toward the airport. This morning, as I rounded Lake Weldona, I spotted a small bird walking by the shore. It was a very cloudy morning so the view wasn't great.

I cound tell by its behavior while it was walking and feeding that it was a Spotted Sandpiper.



Nice to find even in the gloom. They only come through here briefly during migration.
