Good morning Tweeters,

This morning I went out to the location where Betty Estes thought she had a Ruff on Brady Loop Rd yesterday. Ruth and Patrick Sullivan were already there looking when I arrived at about 7:45am this morning. The Ruff was spotted with a group of about 5 Greater Yellowlegs. It is located at the same location that Betty reported yesterday along Brady Loop Rd. just south of Willis St. where large ponds lay on each side of the road. There is a little pump/electrical house on the side of the road right by the ponds where we saw the Ruff this morning. The Ruff is in a molting plumage that is very scaled looking. Hopefully, it will remain in the area so we can see it in breeding plumage.
