Actitis macularius
Spotted sandpipers have ...er...spots. Or not. This one does because it's breeding season. By fall its breast will be spotless.
Foraging for a tasty tidbit
Handsome birds, me thinks.

A very beautiful bird.
Polka dot spots. Glad you caught the bird with its dots on.

He is very handsome. I rather like his spots. :)
I would agree they are handsome. Love that stretching leg/wing shot.
The spots must have something to do with attracting a mate. This is a beautiful avian and your photos are first rate!
I'm going to go fishing for dinner in the fridge in a minute or two but I'm not nearly as pretty as this little geezer!
Fabulous shots as always,EG! I hope you were alright in the storms yesterday.
He is gorgeous with the spots on his chest.
I really like that wing stretch shot.
A most talented bird that can stretch like that.

He is a beauty. Wonderful shots.
Really nice photo! To think he can do all that on one foot! Is this a yoga position?
Such a lovely series!

Handsome little guy.

A beautiful bird--spots or not! MB
Just gorgeous birds! Love these pictures!
What a beautiful bird, and these photographs are really wonderful.
Happy day to you. :-)
Awesome shots!
I love this sandpiper for a couple reasons. Good looking bird, funny bob when it walks and an EASY sandpiper to ID! Sandpipers are one of the hardest groups of birds to figure out. Thankfully, there are a couple that are easy to figure out. Great pics!
such a pretty bird, I love that last shot. It looks like it's dancing.
