This morning Kim Eckert, Mike Steffes and I unsuccessfully searched
for the Purple Sandpiper that was photographed by Heidi Pinkerton at
Split Rock Lighthouse State Park on March 17th. Conditions were
drizzly and a bit foggy and there is obviously a lot of potential
habitat in this area, so it
I just heard back from Heidi Pinkerton, the photographer who found the
Purple Sandpiper on March 17, and she said the location was at the
"beach" at Split Rock Lighthouse State Park in Lake Co. I assume this
site is accessed from one of the trails leading from the visitors
center. With perm
I just received a nice photo of a Purple Sandpiper taken last
Saturday, March 17, in Lake County. I have asked the observer's
permission to post the location on MOU-net and the digital image on
the MOU's Recently Seen page. (I'd rather not do either right now
since she may want to post thes
Not sure if there's still a question of identity here, but if so maybe
these photos will also help. Did not see the bird over the weekend...
these are from earlier.

This make #659 for my big year and is much more exciting than getting it on
the east coast as a gimmie. Next stop TX.

Pleased to report the Purple Sandpiper is still in Swift County. I drove out
with a
priest friend, Fr. Tom, to look for him and Fr. Tom found him right away on the
right side of the road where he has been reported. This was at noon today,
Saturday, October 22nd.

I watched the Purple Sandpiper at the Lubenow WPA in Swift County from 1:30
PM to 2:15 PM this afternoon. Much of the time it was so close to the car
that I couldn't focus my binoculars on it.

I headed out to Lubenow WPA as soon as I heard about the Purple Sandpiper and
arrived at about 4:15pm. There were quite a few hunters present.
The road (230thAve SW) winds along side the WPA, then through it, forming a
rocky shore on both sides of the road. The bird flushed from the west side
