A group of the usuals (minus one plus an Amish guy) went on a 'scouting trip'
at Knox-Marcellus on Friday preceding Saturdays 'Public Walk'.
Of course, they flushed many of the birds, pushing them away from the dikes and
some, including the Ruff, out of the area.
How could any right minded person
Dave K, et. al.,
First, let me state that I was not a participant of either of these trips, and
am only responding with my eList administrator hat on. While I don’t doubt some
frustration that may have been felt by you or others in having missed the Ruff
on Friday or Saturday, it is not uncommo
I would also add a MERLIN flushed a lot of shorebirds out of KM marsh on
Friday and that is why the RUFF ended up at Benning. Plus we had a
PEREGRINE FALCON today also flushing a lot of birds of which many returned
back to their original places.
