[Ontbirds]Cobourg Purple Sandpiper

[Richard Pope]

From 3.00 p.m. until now there has been a juvenile Purple Sandpiper in 
the Cobourg Harbour where the west headland meets the breakwater feeding 
in the smelly algae  and paling with a Dunlin. Photographers, please do 
not harrass and walk this bird up as some of you  are doing to our Snowy 
Owl who is still very much present.
Directions: Go south off King Street in Cobourg on Hibernia and park in 
the parking lot and walk out the headland, though the bird can be seen 
with a scope from the parking lot, as can the owl.
