Description
This is a Purple Sandpiper, an uncommon winter bird anywhere on the East Coast and breeding in Eastern Canada. Although at certain spots along the east coast they are a locally common such as at Barnegat Light State Park, in NJ.
Taken at Barnegat Light State Park in New Jersey, I sat down and waited for a group of these sandpipers to work their way towards me on the jetty. This is a capture of one that had worked its way down to me and was feeding while I took pictures of it. Once I had finished, I waited for them to move further down the Jetty before leaving to avoid scaring them.
