Spotted Sandpiper (14420862556)
Description:
Description: This widely-distributed shorebird is fairly easy to identify during the summer when its breast is dotted with bold spots. However, in the winter, the breast pales out to solid white. Spotted sandpipers also display role reversal with the female defending the territory and the male doing most of the work to raise the young.
