Spotted Sandpiper

Small shorebird often seen in the spring at Devil's Lake State Park. You can easily tell this shorebird from others as they will bob their tails as the stand and move.

Habitat:

Lakeshore

Notes:

This little guy was so fun to watch this day. They would run around the rocks looking for insects and whatnot to eat.
