The recent Sunday trip was in search of Purple Sandpiper and we were rewarded with the sighting of perhaps a dozen such birds. The Purple Sandpiper does visit Pr'esquile in the fall during a short period of time on their flight south for the winter along the east coast front Newfoundland south to Florida. During the summer the bird occupies occupies the most northern seaboard of Quebec north to the southern fringe fringe of Baffin Island. The dozen or so Purples were mixed in with at least a couple hundred hundred Dunlins.
