Re: [cobirds] Re: Purple Sandpiper update

I was passing thru on Sat 31st around noon, and saw it, along with a snipe. Wasn't close enough to independently verify ID, tho by size & shape, location & another birder's judgement I'm sure it was the bird.

A crew of remote control plane enthusiasts had a table set up and were buzzing their little planes all around, but I couldn't detect any reaction from either bird. As we were driving away toward I-70 someone had parked in a pullout around the bend and was hiking down closer from there with his camera, way closer than we had gone from the 988(?) access. Hope he didn't get the last shot.

No purple sandpiper. 

I was at the spot from 7-8:15.

We got there shortly after noon, looked (great looks at a Snipe), had lunch, looked again, drove around the reservoir and looked one last time, but no luck. So we looked between noon and 4.

Several groups of birders looked for the Purple Sandpiper today between 7am and noon, without success.  Please post if you see it.  Great bird and story for the end of 2016.  Happy New Year!
