I was at Myers Point for half an hour starting at 7:55am, and Jason Huck was there for much of that time. We had no luck with the Purple Sandpiper. The only shorebird I saw was a KILLDEER on the island in Salmon Creek. Other highlights were a low northbound flock of DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANTS presumably commuting from their Ithaca roost to feed, and a loose flock of 50 southbound AMERICAN CROWS, migrants I presume.
