Date: Sunday, 15 July 2012 (6:45a-12:10p) Location: Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge - East Pond Observers: Andrew Baksh, Karen Fung, Matthew Rymkiewicz & Ben Cacace Reported by: Ben Cacace
Our group was there when Andrew Baksh found the newest Ruff (3rd of the year) on the east side of the East Pond. He phoned us and we were on the new Ruff fairly quickly and was able to follow the bird from the east side to the northeast corner. Then the bird was not seen for awhile. When we arrived at the north end much later Matthew was on the bird. It was fairly close and gave excellent views. The digiscoped images by Karen are embedded in the following eBird.org checklist: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S11156672 Many thanks to Andrew for his keen eye, patience and phone call! -- Ben Cacace Manhattan, NYC http://novahunter.blogspot.com -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
