At 10:40am Monday I noticed a Spotted Sandpiper in breeding plumage
(all the others I've seen in this location have been on non-breeding/
winter plumage) doing its teetery bobble feeding around the edges of
the water of the reservoir in Volunteer Park, Seattle.

There are enough crows in the day roost bathing and drinking to get
him to fly too. Not very vocal though (which is a little different
from other times).

Always a fun bird to see in Seattle (and in VP).
