Folks, Steve Stachowiak, Steve Larson, Loch Kilpatrick and I were able to see and photograph the Purple Sandpiper this morning. The dark color, orange legs and orange basal quarter of the mandible appear to eliminate Rock Sandpiper from contention. Thanks indeed to the Bushong boys who found this rarity during a blizzard. Photos of the bird can be seen by following this link.
