Also for those seeking the Purple Sandpiper at Myers, there was a nice assortment of ducks south of the lighthouse (viewed from south side of Marina), including 8 SURF SCOTERS, 1 gorgeous male LONG-TAILED DUCK, RING-NECKED, LESSER SCAUP, RUDDY DUCK, AM WIGEONs, and 2 female GREEN-WINGED TEAL.
A juv RED-THROATED LOON was swimming offshore of the spit fairly close, but flew north. The PURPLE PIPER gave incredible views in the early afternoon, almost walking across our feet on the north side of the parking area. KEN Kenneth V.
