Semipalmated Sandpiper Photos

Photography by Terry Sohl

My Favorite: A peep! One of the small Calidris shorebird species that migrates through South Dakota, Semipalmated Sandpipers are a pretty common sight in both the spring and fall. But evidently I don't photograph them much, given most of the photos from below are all from one day, on April 23rd, 2017 (including my favorite photo below).
