Spotted sandpiper

Its spotted and its a sandpiper so go figure... its called a Spotted Sandpiper.  The most easily recognized and the easiest sandpiper to identify.     I see them  along the rocky shore of the river,ever year.  Not in numbers but only one

is needed for the photo capture.  If you don't see it at first you might be alerted to  its presence by its peep peep sound. This is a delightful little waterbird  to watch and it walks with a bit of a bobbing fashion. It apparently likes rocky shores.
