Bob Dunlap just called me (1:45 P.M.) to let me know that the Purple Sandpiper has not been relocated as of yet today. He's been there for several hours, and no sign of the bird has been found. He said there is a pretty large group of birders there, so coverage of the area has been pretty thorough. He did note that a Golden Eagle flew over earlier. Hopefully the bird can be refound, but as for now, it looks as if it has moved on.
