This image is of our first Spotted Sandpiper if the year, 10 February 2022, at the Woodard Bay Natural Area just east of Olympia. We quickly made our identification by the bird’s habit of bobbing its tail up and down. We had our eyes out for this species, as we read a few reports of other Spotted Sandpipers in the vicinity. A common migrant and summer resident in most of Washington, this species is uncommon and irregular in the winter.
