Several people looked for the Ruff from about 6:00 to 9:00 this morning without any sightings. This male was first reported from Kumph Marsh yesterday evening by Melissa Mance, who secured photos. The shorebirds were flying in and out Kumph Marsh this morning, so it is likely that there are other spots with shorebird habitat. There is some at adjacent Cayuga Pool but just a few GREATER YELLOWLEGS there. At Kumph Marsh we had 41 GREATER YELLOWLEGS but others saw a few LESSER YELLOWLEGS and a single PECTORAL SANDPIPER there.
Good birding!
