Ruff Still There This Morning

At 8:45 this morning in light rains the Ruff was in Rapid Infiltration Cell E3 (just north of where the sewage trucks swerve west from the scales and turn south to their dumping station up at the aeration cells).

I was told that all morning the Ruff was accompanied by three Lesser Yellowlegs, that they flew over to the west regularly and whenever a truck drove by, but always returned to E3, and that when flying the Ruff was the larger, bulkier, faster bird.

During my short stay they flew from E3 to E2 and back and then from E3 west to the D-cells and back.  Thanks to the lady who gave me a better view of this Lifer through her spotting scope!
