Ruff and Lesser Black-backed Gull


Carol and I took the indirect route home from Applebees after supper yesterday to see how many birders might be looking at the Ruff west of Swanson north of Hile.  Surprisingly there were none at 6:15.  Several birds occupied the huge wet puddle west of the turkey farm including the Ruff and a black-backed gull.

As we were leaving, we met Mike Boston.  He took this photo of the Ruff ...  


... and also confirmed that the gull was a Lesser-Black-backed Gull.
