The highlight of this morning's walk on the dikes around Knox-Marsellus Marsh at Montezuma NWR was a female-type RUFF that I picked out along the grassy north edge of Knox-Marsellus. It gave good views and was still present as we walked back around 11, probably decently viewable from East Road in the evening light.
We also saw the continuing juvenile YELLOW-CROWNED NIGHT-HERON in the ditch along the north side of Puddlers Marsh, not likely to be visible from public areas still in the area at least.
