I found two Purple Sandpipers in a large mixed group of Sanderling, Dunlin,
Western Sandpipers, Ruddy Turnstones, and Black-bellied Plovers today on a hike
to Factory Point. This is the first time I've ever seen them foraging on the
beach away from rocks or jetties.. a photo can be seen
here..http://www.flickr.com/photos/76974373@N03/8216131910/ Ernest Miller, ;
