Observation details
Mark Chappell and Chet McGaugh had the Rock/Purple Sandpiper in view when we arrived. It was easily seen over the next couple of hours straight out from the south end of the parking area. Quite approachable and accommodating and never flew more than about a hundred yards.
The sandpiper is beginning to molt. We did note the narrow white wing stripe.
Accepted by CBRC as Purple Sandpiper. First state record.
