My Favorite: Some bird species aren't well named. Ring-necked Duck comes to mind!! Some are very appropriately named, and Solitary Sandpiper is one of those. Migrants through South Dakota, they are indeed quite solitary, as a typical sighting is a lone bird. They're not a super common sight during migration, and coupled with their solitary nature, perhaps that's why I don't have a huge variety of photos of the species. My favorite photo below is from Lake Thompson in the spring of 2009.
