>Tim Lenz says he and others are watching a juvenile RUFF from Towpath Road. Jay McGowan This timely note from Jay McGowan (Sep 6, 2010 at 11:16 AM) deserves cross-posting on the statewide list. Compared to the 1970's and 80's when a number of birds were seen each spring and fall migration, Ruff has become quite rare statewide and is now on the NYSARC review list. For reasons that are still poorly understood, juveniles have always been quite rare on the east coast and are thus especially noteworthy. I'll leave it to the Cayuga Basin birders to provide further updates.
