I waited in vain from 4:00 - 6:30 pm this afternoon for the Purple Sandpiper's
return. Even though the lighting was ideal for photography
the only occupants on the point were a handful (30-35) of R-bGs and a pair of
Mallards. Bill Roberts

I was at Myers Point for half an hour starting at 7:55am, and Jason Huck was
there for much of that time. We had no luck with the Purple Sandpiper. The only
shorebird I saw was a KILLDEER on the island in Salmon Creek. Other highlights
were a low northbound flock of DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANTS
