Ontbirders This afternoon between 3:30 and 4:30 PM we watched an adult Ruff along the east side of the north east lagoon at Townsend. It had heavy blackish spots/blotches on the breast and flanks and still quite a lot of alternate back, scapular and covert feathers, which seemed surprising for so late in the year. It was either a small male or a female. Difficult to sex by size as it was at neither at the large nor the small end for this species.
