Life Bird #249 at TTP

[paul_reeves]

Wasn't it nice to finally see the sun today? I went out to Tommy Thompson Park with no expectations; all I wanted to do is get outside with my camera and see what I could see.
What I saw was lifer #249: a Purple Sandpiper.

Thanks for posting these, Paul. They really capture well the oddball beauty of this bird.

Now we know how they stay warm in winter - just look at the size of that belly in the third photo!  
Thanks again for the directions Paul, it was a lifer for me today too.
