A Baird's Sand Piper pausing on a rock on the coast of Lake Michigan.

While walking along the shores of Lake Michigan I spotted this little sand piper, cautiously hopping from rock to rock around the lapping waves. I believe it is a Baird's Sand Piper (however it could be a juvenile Common Sand Piper as well).
