Sandpipers (this one is likely a spotted sandpiper) are small waders, and are often seen along streambanks, rivers, ponds, lakes, and in this photo, a large puddle. Sandpiper’s teetering motion as it searches for food has earned it nicknames including teeter-peep, teeter-bob, jerk or perk bird, teeter-snipe, and tip-tail.
