From the TNA message board ...
I saw a Purple Sandpiper along the lakeshore today at Metzgers Marsh. A fellow birder named Chris spotted the bird. It was right where the beach starts along the dike. It was eating the moss from the rocks. We watched the bird for over 20 minutes. I also noted over 100+ Snow Bunting with at least 2 Lapland Longspurs in a large flock in the field on the left immediately when you turn off Rt#2 heading towards the lake.
