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 a lot more breeding plumage - http://birdingdude.blogspot.com/2012/07/2nd-ruff-at-jamaica-bay-wildlife-refuge.html?m=1 For anyone wondering about the various East Pond areas nomenclatures, please check out the map https://www.scribd.com/mobile/doc/153262543/East-Pond-Guide Cheers, -------- "I prefer to be true to myself, even at the hazard of incurring the ridicule of others, rather than to be false, and to incur my own abhorrence." ~ Frederick Douglass 風 Swift as the wind 林 Quiet as the forest 火 Conquer like the fire 山 Steady as the mountain Sun Tzu The Art of War > (__/) > (= '.'=) > (") _ (") > Sent from somewhere in the field using my mobile device!
