Hi birders,
A small ever changing group of birders saw the purple sandpiper early this afternoon at the area adjacent to the parking lot on the east side of Highway 9 south of Frisco and north of Swan Mountain Rd. At times the bird was behind rocks or snow banks, but seemed to stay near the creek mouth, even when a rambunctious family arrived mere yards from the bird. It did move farther east temporarily, but did not flush, fortunately.
