The purple sandpiper is a small shorebird in the sandpiper family Scolopacidae. This is a hardy sandpiper that breeds in the arctic and subarctic regions of Eurasia and North America and winters further south on the Atlantic coast. Interacting Purple Sandpipers often give squeaky, coarse kee or keer calls as well as a chuckling, descending chatter that recalls Semipalmated Sandpiper. Flight call is a low kip. Nesting birds give many other vocalizations. Males in display flight over the territory deliver a rollicking, chortling song of repeated phrases. This song does not closely resemble that of any other shorebird, but some elements have a grating quality that recalls Dunlin. Here is a link so you can listen to them as well.
