I can still remember getting my legs splashed by the cold Atlantic Ocean while I was looking at my first ever Purple Sandpiper in Ocean City, Maryland in 2006. Richard

It circled a half dozen times as it was harried by airborn gulls, finally managed to land at the tip, but was gone a moment later. I'm not sure if it headed back out on the lake or might be hiding on one of the beaches here, but I am not seeing it at the moment. Checking the jetties at the south end of the lake might be a good idea. Nothing else of note so far this morning. -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: Welcome and Basics Rules and Information Subscribe, Configuration and Leave Archives: The Mail Archive Surfbirds BirdingOnThe.Net Please submit your observations to eBird! -- -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
