This is a spotted sandpiper and nice images of him!!Good Evening,
I'm thinking that this is a Plover, which is the first I have seen on the watershed; any thoughts?
Regards,
Edd

A note of explanation:
The Seek app agrees with you.I think that's a sandpiper. Plover's typically have a collar or ring around their neck, usually black. Plus, the females don't have hard shells like that.
A magnificent bird and photo, Irene. Isn't Nature amazing?
Move over, I'm coming to visit your backyard! Give me 5 years and I'll get there. AMAZING.Four backyard regulars that came through in the last hour...
