Both of these birds are still here as of noon today.  The lake conditions are 
changing daily so it is hard to predict where the birds will be tomorrow.  The 
inner harbor is frozen over now so the large raft (300-400) of goldeneye, 
merganser and scaup moved to open waters off North Point and that is where the 
Barrow's Goldeneye is now.  The Purple Sandpiper is holding on even as the ice 
shelf grows thicker and deeper.  Today the rock ledges just offshore the North 
Point parking lot are completely ice covered but the Purple still seems to be 
finding edibles at the water's edge.
