Re: [nysbirds-l] Ruff Update @ JBWR 1:59 pm

The Ruff is being seen at the north end of the East Pond. It is on the east side and making its way back south. If you are at the overlook at Big John's, look north or south along the east side and you should be able to pick this bird up. It looks a bit like "Rufous Ruff" from 2012 but it has

The Ruff was still visible from the Big John's overlook, well south of the Raunt on the east side 10 mins ago. It was moving south at a very fast pace initially, but it has slowed to forage on a mudflat just before the cove bends out of view. I imagine the south end would supply good views as
