A Ruff that looks a lot like last year's "Rufus Ruff" was seen first near the south end of the East Pond. The bird relocated and I refound it near Dead Man's Cove on the west side of the North End of the East Pond. It has ventured right at the entrance so if you are going to twitch this bird, be careful as you enter as it may just be there.
I would stick around but I have been working the pond since 5:30 this morning and I am out of water. Good luck if you try for it. For those of you not too familiar with the pond. Check my blog for a recent post on how to bird the pond with the changes since Hurricane Sandy. Photos of the Ruff will also be posted later. Sent from somewhere in the field using my mobile device!
