Happy Pie Day Everybody! Today, I had read on the Rondeau Birding What App group that the Purple Sandpiper that had been found by Craig Anderson and Katie Bond (back on March 8th) was still there!
I had heard that the walk to see this bird on the south beach of Rondeau was an 8KM walk one way!
I tried my luck as - this is such a rare and awesome shorebird in my opinion.
Special thanks to Blake as well as the Rondeau Birding WhatsApp Group - as well as the original finder.
PS: This is only the second time I've seen this bird. The first time was back in 2013!

Good birding!

Glad you were able to get out to see this cooperative fellow, Dwayne. And now I hope you have a chance to get some rest!
