About 2:30 p.m. I got a call from Ken Sapkowski that someone had reported a Ruff at the Wastewater. I told him that I would meet him there. When I got to the Wastewater, I bumped into Chip Francke and he told me the Ruff was in Rapid Infiltration Cell D2. I found it right away and watched it for a little over an hour.

Thanks to everybody, especially Terry Grabill who made the initial Mich-listers report and Charlie for the photographs! This is not only a fantastic rarity, but being a male in breeding plumage, a truly beautiful shorebird as well. The only other Ruff ever reported at the Wastewater was by Jim Ponshair in 1982, a bird that stuck around June 5, 6, and 7. Let's hope this one does too! - Ric
