Yesterday (2/9) I was at Ft. Macon St. Pk. near Atlantic Beach, NC, and saw
several Purple Sandpipers feeding together with a few turnstones on the long
jetty there. I got a nice view of a couple of them through my scope. This
is a species I've been looking for for five years, checking Oregon Inlet and
the rocks at Ft. Fisher whenever I was there. After all that, there they
were in excellent weather conditions, being very cooperative and giving me a
nice, long look.
