Apologies for the tardiness of this report. I was in the middle of doing my Baille Birdathon Saturday evening when I found the Ruff. I had never seen one before this. What a beautiful bird! Thanks to Mark Gawn for helping me to be sure what I was looking at.
It was with Wilson Phalaropes and Lesser Yellowlegs in the middle cell of those closest to the road. It was foraging along the shore closest to the road, mostly between the pine tree and the maintenance shed that is by the western-most gate.
