Re: [cayugabirds-l] Purple Sandpiper

[Chris R. Pelkie]

Belatedly, I wanted to note that when I found it last week, it was happily 
lurking amidst the gulls on the point. It was completely hidden by them as they 
are 3x bigger than it and when clustered together made a complete wall.
Then, it is also the same color as the beach rocks. It has been animatedly 
foraging so watch for moving beach rocks!

After scanning the gulls a couple times, then looking away for a while, then 
scanning them again, lo and behold, I saw a ‘not gull’ head pop up briefly and 
knew I had found it.
A while later, they flew off and gave nice scope views (it didn’t come as close 
as for some other observers and I didn’t want to fright it off, so I stayed 50’ 
away).

So, keep trying, but it has been there for a while and may have finally beefed 
up for the next leg of migration.

?I should warn you that you should watch the video with sound off or speaker at 
low volume. It was terribly windy out there. Even my pants were flapping loudly 
against me and making loud noise.


Cheers

?Hi all,

Here is a link to the clip I took of Purple Sandpiper this afternoon. At times 
it came as close as 6 feet from me. It moved very fast in general.  At one time 
the surfer had left his surfboard at the edge of the lake and the bird foraged 
in between the boards.  Quite a cute bird!

A Purple Sandpiper at Myers Point Tompkins County New York on 10/26/14 feeding 
along the shore.
Watch now...


 Also from the East Shore,  I saw 6 or 7 female Black Scoters very actively 
foraging and being underwater for quite sometime.


Cheers

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Purple Sandpiper continues

[Kenneth V. Rosenberg]

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.

If you missed it yesterday, it looks like the PURPLE SANDPIPER will be putting 
on an encore performance today. It is currently foraging on the north side of 
the spit at Myers Point out near the tip.

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Purple Sandpiper, Myers Point

[RICHARD WOOD]

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.

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.
