Around 4:30 Bob Adamo and I saw both ruffs (look like Ruff & Reeve to me) at fairly close range in the marsh a bit northwest of the pier. This is further west from where it was seen on Sunday. After we watched the male preening for several minutes it walked southwest towards the parking lot through the marsh, unfortunately hidden by vegetation. Also present were Least Sandpiper, mostly Lesser Yellowlegs with a couple of Greaters, Dunlin - 1 in breeding plumage, Oystercatcher and 3 Boat-tailed Grackles --
