If you're not familiar with sandpipers, then a sandpiper looks like a pigeon except it has (a) an extension neck, (b) long, long bill, and (c) long, long legs.
The real challenge is being able to tell one sandpiper from another. The lesser yellowlegs and the solitary sandpiper look alike, but the former has yellow legs and the latter green legs. I'm assuming that the sandpiper below has legs that are more green than yellow, but . . .
By the reasoning above, welcome to the solitary sandpiper. Yesterday it appeared with a friend, but today it was by itself. I'd expect no less from anything called solitary.
