There has been a Purple Sandpiper at Biscayne National Park for the last 4 days. I took these photos this morning around 11:00 a.m. Peter Quagliana from Chicago found the bird on Monday December 8th. Walk out to the jetty and look for any Ruddy Turnstones or any other shorebirds, it was feeding with them this morning. Also check the end of the jetty along the rocks on the south side, it flew here after feeding.
The park address is: 9700 S.W. 328th. street.
