Observation details
Feeding at the edge of the water on the farthest shore, SE of the gazebo at the mitigation pond. White underneath, much shorter and stouter dark bill than the LB Dowitchers nearby. Much different feeding posture and feeding habits than the dowitchers. I took several distant photos (at 200x digital) and have a 60 second video segment that shows the Ruff feeding on the shoreline. For some reason, the video shows the bird much clearer than my still photos. Light was going away fast and at the distance I was shooting the photos, I'm lucky to have ANY photos. New county bird for me and a year bird as well. Bird was seen earlier today by Steve Nord, Andy Frank and Paul Sullivan.
