	Purple Sandpiper in Texas
		A Purple Sandpiper has been wintering on the jetties adjacent to Quintana and Surfside Beaches, near Freeport, Texas.
		We had heard that the Purple Sandpiper was still around and had been seen on April 29th on the Quintana Jetty, and that also on the same morning another was seen on the North Jetty at Port Bolivar (17th St.).
		We thought at first that this must be a second sandpiper, but on studying the plummage, and corresponding with a local birder, it is noted that one of the secondaries is uniquely light-edged with a dark center on both photos, so it has t be the same bird.

	The Purple Sandpiper
		They are generally very busy while searching for food, run nimbly with the body lowered on the legs, which are much bent, go to the edge of the water, seize on small shell-fish, shrimps and worms, and search industriously among the sea-weeds for marine insects.
		Length to end of tail 9 1/2, to end of wings 9 4/12, to end of claws 10; extent of wings 14 3/4; wing from flexure 5, tail 2 1/2; bill along the back 1 5/12, along the edge of lower mandible 1 5/12; tarsus 11/12; middle toe 11/12, its claw 3/12.
		The principal differences in the winter plumage are, that the lower parts are pale grey, while the upper have the purple tints much fainter, the white edgings substituted by dull grey.

		Purple sandpipers were present in the study area from mid-October to mid-May. The birds gathered in flocks averaging more than 70 birds.
		Purple sandpipers are particularly vulnerable along the northeast Atlantic coast.
		The purple sandpiper distribution outlined in this study has been used to determine key areas essential to the survival of the wintering population, which will help guide the species¹ conservation in Maine.

	Garden Art by Sandpiper: Purple Robe Nierembergia
		Purple Robes are used as an edging plant, in rock gardens, or in containers/window boxes.
		The Purple Robe is smothered with hundreds of dainty saucer-shaped flowers during the summer.
		The Nierembergia Purple Robe (Dwarf Cupflower), 'Nierembergia hippomanica', is a wonderful plant either as a perennial in Zones 7 or warmer, or as an annual everywhere else.

		Mid-winter ageing of Purple Sandpiper can be surprisingly tricky - at least without previous experience or direct comparison of first-winter and adult birds.
		Key feathers to look for are the inner median coverts (highlighted on the photograph of the first-winter below): on first-winter birds these well-protected feathers are invariably still buff-tipped throughout the winter.
		Note on both these photographs the subtle purple gloss to the scapulars and tertails - the feature that gives rise to this species English name.
