Today there were two Purple Sandpipers along the breakwall at Headlands
Beach State Park, Mentor.  They were feeding together and looking lovely in  the
sunlight.

I know at least one person missed the birds, and an out-of-state visitor
nearly missed them because they assumed that the sandpipers were out towards the
lighthouse.  This year all the Purples have frequented the wall much  further
inland which has made them easier to enjoy and has eliminated the need  to
brave the outer breakwall.

A group of at least 500 scaup flew east in a scattershot formation,  and a
very pale Dunlin landed on the beach.
