Finally Found a Shore Bird

I have often wondered why I never see any of the smaller shore birds along the banks of the Arkansas River. Finally did this week. I think this is a spotted sandpiper. Took this while the bird was headed east and Jerik west. Fun times.

Looks like a Sandpiper to me too. Are you near a place where the river feeds into the ocean? The only shorebirds we see inland here are seagulls. But they are scavengers and will pretty much fly anywhere for garbage! Good shot.
