Re: [nysbirds-l] Juvenile Ruff at Montezuma
Hi all, I uploaded a couple of images of this bird to my Flickr page. The bird was fairly distant much of the time, so my best images were taken when shorebirds were flushed by a juvenile Peregrine Falcon. On one image, you can see the Ruff with a Red Knot in flight (also rare here). http://www.flickr.com/photos/pinicola/ I have not heard if anyone has been up there today to look for the bird.
