Spotted Sandpiper Photos

My usual sighting of a Spotted Sandpiper is when one flies away from me, with that characteristics, rapid shallow-wing-beat flight of theirs. They breed here and I do see them occasionally throughout the spring and summer, but I have surprisingly few photos of them. The ONLY photos I have of them in nice sunshine are photos 7 through 12 below, of the same bird at Newton Hills State Park on the morning of May 10th, 2020.
