[nysbirds-l] ruff

[MICHAEL HIGGISTON]

One ruff was present in the marsh next to the East marina parking lot at 
Timber point GC in Great River this morning around 11:15.  After a few 
minutes it wandered off into the marsh grasses and was hidden.  Thanks 
to all for directions and updates.

[nysbirds-l] Ruff - Yes

[Corey Finger]

Currently viewing Ruff from south end of East Pond. It's at the Raunt though, 
so the view is probably better from Big John's Pond overlook.

Good Birding,

[nysbirds-l] Ruff Stuff

[Steve Walter]

Shouldn't the female be called a "Smooth"? Never mind. This is about the
roving, rufous Ruff dubbed "Rofous". Of course that was someone's typo, but
I like it and I'm going with it. Anyway, this is how he's looking these days
(yesterday) --  http://www.stevewalternature.com/ at the birds, recent work
link. The picture was taken from about 100 yards away, the closest one can
seem to get to it. Not bad considering that, and probably a better look than
I've gotten live (even with a scope).

[nysbirds-l] Ruff displaying

[syschiff]

Timber point east marina 19 April

Joe Giunta and I (Sy Schiff) found the 2 Ruffs together this morning (thanks 
Andrew for getting the word out after being alerted).  The obvious male is 
molting into breeding plumage.  Today there is much more black than in photos 
posted earlier. In addition, the bird is developing a ruff.  This was quite 
evident when approached by the second bird. At that point, it put on a full 
display posture, bending down, fluffing up its feathers and showing ear flaps 
The barring was exceptionally noticeable and some reddish feathering was 
displayed in the back as the feathers went up.  The breast ruff is not yet 
fully developed.  None of this showed when the bird was feeding.

The second bird does not appear to be a juvenile. It displays barred tertials, 
I believe a sign of maturity. . Could not find it much smaller than the male.  
Best judgment is a female, not yet in full breeding plumage

I could not find any reference in the literature I have that the "breeding 
display" is is an aggression posture. So, both Joe and I find this extremely 
interesting as to how it reacted to an approaching "female".  I have lots of 
very poor distant photos, but lucked out on one picture of the display.

[nysbirds-l] Ruff update

[Isaac Grant]

All of the birds on the north end of the pond flushed at around 4:45. I was not 
able to refind the bird but I am sure it is still here. Andrew first had the 
bird on the south end of the pond so you need to check everywhere. 

The numbers of Stilt Sandpipers is up by a lot saw 20+ birds
Semi-palmated Plovers are now in. Over 100 seen
2 pectoral sandpipers
1 Red Knot
1 adult Western Sandpiper still in pretty good plumage
A couple thousand semi-palmated sandpipers and 1,000 + Short-billed Dowitchers
Lots of yellowlegs of both types, Leasts

Not seen were the white rump or long-billed dowitcher I had on Wednesday

It flew north before I left - sorry for forgetting to update. But be patient, 
it came in out of nowhere earlier.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Ruff - No

[Andrew Baksh]

Too bad. As I noted before, that Ruff is extremely jumpy and once you see that 
bird, it is highly advisable to observe from a distance unless you have Ninja 
skills.

[nysbirds-l] Ruff JBWR - Yes

[Joe T]

7/9/12
12:23pm

Looking at one of the Ruff right now from a spit just south of the North Island 
on the north end of the East Pond.  Entered via the northwest corner and worked 
our way just a few hundred yards down and there he was, right across the water. 
 

Also nice are a few Gull-billed Terns flying around.

Date: Saturday, April 13, 2013, 2:30 PM

Early this morning I headed to Kissena Park to check out the marshes by the 
lake.  Last night (4/12 at around 7PM) I saw a Marsh wren there and a possible 
moorhen or something similar.  Did not refind the birds this morning (4/13)but 
I did see a Louisiana waterthrush (ID confirmed by salmony colour and very 
white superciliums).  This bird was located on the slope overlooking the lake 
and marsh.  The bird then flew into the marshy area where I had seen and heard 
the Marsh Wren. No warblers at Kissena. 
I moved on to Oakland lake where it was very warbly.   I saw a Palm and right 
behind it was the Louisiana
 Waterthrush.  I though great, a second one for the day and I didnt have to 
look too hard to refind this one.  I also encounteredPine, and Yellow-rumped.
Near the water inlet (the stream that feeds the lake) I encountered a second 
Lousiana, third of the day surrounded by a few swamp sparrows.  Took my time 
trying to get photos, while watching this one a third (fourth of the day) flew 
in about three yards away. Wood ducks flew in over my head into the ravine as 
this was happening.
After a while I kept walking again and ran into Eric Miller who was looking at 
his own Louisiana Waterthrush (5th of the day, 4th at Oakland) by the staircase 
on the western shore of the lake.  He also helped me find my FOY Blue-grey 
gnatcatcher, and FOY blue-winged teal pair.  Soon I was joined by more birders 
(Gary, Bob, Seth, Mary, Steve S.  and Arie).  We all got more good looks at a 
Louisiana near the entrance to the park (where I saw the first Louisiana in 
this park).  News came of a Ruff in breeding plumage somewhere out on the 
Island and most everyone left.  I stayed behind and found my FOY Yellow 
Warbler.Moved on to Alley Pond Environmental Center to find my FOY Barn 
swallows with Tree Swallows.

[nysbirds-l] Ruff @ JBWR 3:00

[Tim Healy]

The Ruff was still visible from the Big John's overlook, well south of the 
Raunt on the east side 10 mins ago. It was moving south at a very fast pace 
initially, but it has slowed to forage on a mudflat just before the cove bends 
out of view. I imagine the south end would supply good views as well, but one 
should take care not to step out and disturb the bird from the southern 
shoreline. In the process of sending this email, the bird took off and looked 
to be headed north, somewhat towards the bay. Not currently in view. 

Really handsome individual! Rufous with a somewhat darker neck ruff. Thanks to 
all who update on the whereabouts and comings and goings of the bird. 

Cheers!

Juan Salas, who visited the East Pond yesterday around 5:00 p.m. photographed a 
Ruff feeding among Greater Yellowlegs.

I just looked at his photos and to me there is not doubt. Congrats to Juan.

See his checklist here http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S39121618

[nysbirds-l] Ruff update from JBWR...

[Andrew Baksh]

The second Ruff that was discovered this morning has not been seen for well 
over an hour.  Last observed with Tom Burke, Gail Benson and Doug Futumya on 
the Southend of the East Pond.  

We think it could have flown off the pond...perhaps into the bay.  The initial 
Ruff from Sunday is still on the pond being seen on the eastern side from the 
North End past 'Dead Man's Cove' or 'Mud Cove' as named on NYC Audubon's East 
Pond map referenced in another post by Lynn Hertzog.
Good and responsible birding!

[nysbirds-l] Ruff at Jamaica Bay

[Isaac Grant]

The second Ruff that was found on Wednesday showed well at the north end of the 
east pond. It was there from 2:00-5:00pm and was still there when I left. It 
wandered around a lot and ranged from right at the entrance at the north west 
part of the pond to the island and as far south as about half way to the raunt 
and on the east part of the pond.

[nysbirds-l] Ruff at Heckscher SP Suffolk

[Steve Walter]

For those who might be interested, I've posted a picture of the Ruff at my
web site http://stevewalternature.com/ . Pictures taken from my old ride.
And from what I saw, that's the way to do it. Trying to walk toward it is
not advisable. And staking it out at the field 7 pools seems like the best
approach to seeing it.

[nysbirds-l] Ruff, Shorebird Locations - Niagara County

[Willie D'Anna]

The spectacular breeding plumaged RUFF, found by Joel Strong on Saturday,
continues today. The location is on Townline Rd, between Hosmer and Hartland
Rds, in the Town of Somerset. There are lots of other shorebirds here as
well. Mostly yellowlegs (things have just switched with Lesser now more
numerous than Greater) and some Solitary Sandpipers and Dunlin. Today, I had
a Pectoral Sandpiper and a Spotted Sandpiper.

 

There are a few other places in the county to look for shorebird
enthusiasts:

-North side of Drake Settlement Rd, between Fuller and Hess Rds,
Town of Newfane. Today, there were both yellowlegs, Solitarys, and Dunlin.

-West side of Quaker Rd (State Route 148), between Rt 104 and
Chapman Rd. Today, there were both yellowlegs, Solitarys, Green-winged and
Blue-winged Teal, Pintail, and Mallard.

-East side of Niagara-Orleans Countyline Rd (S.R. 269), ¼ mile south
of Yates Center Rd, Town of Yates, Orleans Co. Today, this spot held the
most individuals, with 94 Lesser Yellowlegs and 9 Greaters. There were also
Solitarys, Dunlin, and Spotted. A GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GOOSE (another of
Joel’s finds) continues with the Canada Geese here.

 

Shorebird locations are worth checking often, with changeover evident almost
every day.

 

Good birding!

[nysbirds-l] Ruff Update, JBWR, July 4th

[Donna Schulman]

When I left the East Pond, Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge at 7:45pm, the Ruff
was still feeding on the eastern side at the North End, south of "Dead
Man's Cove".  You can see a roof through the trees on the east side in this
area, and if you moved your eyes all the way down, there was the Ruff!

For birders not familiar with the East Pond, it would be a good idea to
bring wellies or waders and a scope.  And, keep away from the northeast
corner of the pond!  It's dangerous there and the signs are not visible.

[nysbirds-l] Ruff and Baird's Sandpiper (NO)...

[Andrew Baksh]

Doing a quick post from the field for those folks thinking of trying
for both birds. The Ruff and the Baird's Sandpiper were not seen
today.

Both these birds have not been seen since Sunday according to other
sources who reported negative.

I would give it a day or so but it very well could be that they both
pulled out with other birds.

Today, I did the hike from the south end to north and back.  Still a
good number of shorebirds but the number of Short-billed Dowitchers
has dropped significantly.

Highlights included STILT SANDPIPER (29), WESTERN SANDPIPER (3),
WHITE-RUMPED SANDPIPER (1) and a WESTERN WILLET.

Very few shorebirds on the pond at the moment as they all retreated
presumably out the marsh to avoid a marauding young Peregrine Falcon
who kept putting everything up.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Ruff at Jamaica Bay

[Andrew Baksh]

Last seen flying towards the south end and appeared heading of the pond
towards the bay.  If you come in from the south end please check the
corners carefully.

Different bird from the earlier Ruff with very little molt around the neck.
 I did get some shots a short video clip documenting the bird.  2nd for
Jamaica Bay so far this year.

[nysbirds-l] Ruff - looks like the same bird

[Andrew Baksh]

I have posted two videos (poor quality ones at that) on my blog (
http://birdingdude.blogspot.com/2016/06/jamaica-bay-wildlife-refuge-tale-of-two.html)
showing what I am convinced is the same Ruff from the 25th and then
re-found this AM by Robert Proniewych. I am fascinated because this is
exactly a repeat of 2012 by what I am presuming is the same bird. I have
mused about "reverse migration" or another site nearby that is hosting
these birds when they disappear for a few days.

Other shorebirds on the East Pond this morning included, Greater
Yellowlegs, Lesser Yellowlegs, Spotted Sandpiper, Killdeer, Eastern Willet,
Least Sandpiper and American Oystercatcher.

For those interested, last night I published an updated map of the East
Pond which you could also access on my blog.

Cheers,

[nysbirds-l] Ruff at Tonawanda WMA, Niagara County

[Willie D'Anna]

A female-type Ruff was found yesterday by Brad Carlson at Mud Creek Marsh,
which is on the east side of Griswold St, a quarter mile north of Rt 77.
Unfortunately, this discovery has coincided with long-planned and organized
retriever training at the marsh. When that is going on, there is a fair
chance the shorebirds will go elsewhere but after yesterday's trials, the
Ruff and others returned later in the day. I arrived shortly after 6 pm
yesterday and the trainers were packing up and moving out. They were no
longer in the pool but the shorebirds were, including the Ruff. Someone
reported this morning that the trials have resumed and that the Ruff was not
there. Let's hope it returns!

[nysbirds-l] Ruff at JBWR East Pond - Yes

[Tristan Lowery]

Good looks from 9:30 - 10:30, even for me without a scope.  Still there
when I left.  You'll need to trudge down past the so-called "Dead Man's
Cove" through a shoreline quagmire up to a foot in depth.  Bring waders if
you got 'em!

Good birding.

[nysbirds-l] Ruff, Muck-diving, and book giveaway!

[kenalla...@earthlink.net]

Fellow Birders;
Greetings one and all; I'm back in NYC (from Panama) for an extended period 
(not for the best of reasons, more later in this post), and ventured to JBWR 
for the first time in several years.  Apparently, somewhere along the way this 
now professional neotropical birding guide forgot a few basic rules about 
birding in muddy boreal waters and shorelines.  (In Panama one doesn't even 
think of wading in mud-- too many bad things lurk in such habitat.)  First off, 
I didn't work hard enough to connect the favored term for the key landmark, 
"Dead Man's Cove", to the "Mud Cove" on the map..  My fault, nobody else's, but 
I am glad to see some more specific notes appearing today on this Listserve.  
Second, I did not wait for other birders, or sightings of them down one 
shoreline or another, before venturing out.  I also did not truly consider the 
mornings rain as a factor.  So I headed for the east side of the East Pond-- 
wrong, wrong, wrong!  I made it out a ways just fine, managed!
  a 'scope view of the original Ruff (the angle I'd chosen was favorable for 
this), but then decided to head back.  I lost my tracks, and eventually found 
myself inexorably trapped in waist-high and thick mud-- it really only took a 
bad step or two, and I am indeed out of practice.  I knew enough to sit tight, 
and concentrated on protecting gear as best as possible, saving my strength-- I 
could touch solid ground and was in no real danger at any time.  Within 10 
monutes or so, Seth Ausubel and a companion passed on the west side of the pond 
(the drier, correct side), spotted me, and went for help (thank you Seth and 
friend!).  A bit later I had a couple of rangers and a Swat guy working with 
me, and we managed to wingle my legs into an upright and clear position, and I 
was shortly safely in the reeds.  We even managed to grab every last bit of 
gear!  Police found my father waiting in the parking lot and brought him to me, 
and they tossed me in the back of a pickup to go back!
  to the Visitors' Center for clean-up, chagrined but still laughing at my 
stupidity!
As I was hosing down myself and my gear, several eminent birders passed by, 
including Seth, Andrew Baksh, and Tom Burke.  How embarassing to finally meet 
Tom after many years of communicating via e-mail only, under such 
circumstances!  All of the birders pledged to keep my incident a secret, but I 
am the season for many cautionary notes tonight, and I 'fess up in hopes that 
my errors in judgement will spare others a similar experience.  And really, who 
among us has not done something foolish in the pursuit of our beloved birds!
While Tom was graciously helping me hose off, he commented that I seemed in 
remarkable good humor considering the situation; so I told him that it paled in 
comparison to the matter that brought me back to NYC  (for such an extended 
stay) in the first place.  I am battling what will eventually be terminal brain 
cancer ( and I am fighting quite well thus far, thank you), and I am relishing 
every moment of every day, even the challenging days are met with a life-loving 
smile.  This brings me to my final topic...
If the listowners will indulge me (and I will do my best to stay within the 
rules) as part of organizing the rest of my life, I am ridding myself of 
many things that are highly unlikely to be put to use again.  My neotropical 
birding library is in Panama, but I still have a solid collection here of US 
bird-related publications (and many audio cd's), and much in the way of general 
reference and world guides.  I am feeling about for sales of some of the 
high-ticket items, but basically I am looking to give away the bulk of the 
collection, happy to see good books go to good use.  I am preparing a simple 
list, so if you've got a trip planned and need some literature, I may have it, 
free of charge!  Please contact me off-list ( kenalla...@earthlink.net ) if you 
are interested; I am located in Flushing, have plenty of time to receive 
prowsers, and am not averse to a birding/handoff excursion (dry land please) as 
time allows.  I hope the colection can go to good use-- I hat!
 e to see things go to waste, but I do need to nip away at the pile of worldly 
goods I've accumulated over the years!
 I will also remind you that I am a professional birding tour planner and 
guide based in Panama; I have obviously had to pass the guiding tasks on to 
colleagues, but I am still managing several ambtious tours from here.  This is 
not a sales pitch-- any number of birders can tell you that I give away tour 
advice quite freely, especially to NY birders-- a couple have even happened 
across me in Panama, and been gifted with free life birds!  Consider me a 
resource; if anything, my committment to developing Panama's avitourism, 
without thought of personal gain, is higher than ever!
Thank you for this indulgence;  I am grateful to have a bit of time back in 
this grand NY birding c

[nysbirds-l] Ruff/Reeve Plum Beach Brooklyn NO

[Shane Blodgett]

No sign of yesterday's Ruff on the incoming tide. Very few shorebirds period. 
High tide is 9:47 a.m.
Was initially found roosting on slack/falling tide yesterday about 1.5 hours 
after high so worth checking again though last night's SW winds could have 
moved some birds out.
Congratulations to Roberta Manian on an awesome Kings County find!

[nysbirds-l] Ruff/Reeve: No (still), Kings County

[Sean Sime]

Rob Jett and I were handed the baton from Shane Blodgett and stayed at
Plumb Beach till 2pm along with Bobbi Manion, the original finder. No luck
with the target species, but a flyover Red-throated loon in serious molt
proved exciting!
For those wondering, no marsh sparrows were seen or heard during our time
there and none were reported by birders there since first light.

Also, earlier at Marine Park a late Cliff Swallow was seen flying south and
away along the channel.

Good birding,

Sean Sime
Brooklyn, NY

Re: [nysbirds-l] Ruff Update @ JBWR 1:59 pm

[Andrew Baksh]

The Ruff is being seen at the north end of the East Pond. It is on the east 
side and making its way back south. If you are at the overlook at Big John's, 
look north or south along the east side and you should be able to pick this 
bird up.

It looks a bit like "Rufous Ruff" from 2012 but it has a lot more breeding 
plumage  -

For anyone wondering about the various  East Pond areas nomenclatures, please 
check out the map https://www.scribd.com/mobile/doc/153262543/East-Pond-Guide

Re:[nysbirds-l] Ruff - Now not at the Raunt

[Corey Finger]

I walked up to the overlook and it's not here now. Incoming birders should 
check the north and south ends of the East Pond.

Good Birding,

[nysbirds-l] Ruff Continues at Jamaica Bay (East Pond)

[TESSA1]

I also saw the Ruff at exactly the same spot as described by JT in an  
earlier post from today. Scanning a broad area from the spit closest to the  
island along with a fellow birder from out of town (with much experience  with 
this species), we found the Ruff after close to 2 hours - which was  around 
peak high tide. This was certainly the duller of the 2 Ruffs reported.  The 
light and sun angle made it difficult to appreciate its coloration, so the  
ID was based primarily through size, posturing and aggressive feeding style  
while facing away from us the entire time. - We never got a good look at 
the  breast and sides, even with the bird moving around quite a  bit.

[nysbirds-l] Ruff in Town of Shelby, Orleans County

[Willie D'Anna and Betsy Potter]

The transitional plumage Ruff on Rt. 31A is still present this (Friday)
morning as of 9:30.  It was seen by Vicki Rothman.

 

For those who are curious, birders who have seen the Ruff at this location
and the Ruff at Kumph Marsh, Iroquois NWR are convinced that it is the same
individual.  Photos appear to confirm that.  The two locations are about ten
miles apart as the Ruff flies.

 

DIRECTIONS:

On Rt. 31A in Medina, Orleans County, between E Shelby Rd and Townline Rd in
flooded field on south side,  across from yellow house.  This is just East
of the Hamlet of Millville.

 

Good birding!

Willie

Re: [nysbirds-l] Ruff - Timber Point East Marina (Suffolk)

[Tim Healy]

To any curious birders who just got off work: the Ruff apparently took off and 
flew west around 2:30, high and far. A bit disappointing, but you never know 
what tomorrow will bring. Tonight's winds don't look favorable for landbird 
migration, so I will probably check Timber Point tomorrow morning to see if the 
bird returns. I'd advise birders in the area to keep an eye out. 

Cheers!

Re: [nysbirds-l] Ruff at Heckscher Park - NO (Suffolk Co.)

[Mike]

Probably another successful chase away thanks to the photographers on the scene 
last night who relentlessly chased the bird from one pool to the other despite 
being told that the bird was best observed and photographed from the car.  

Unfortunately the solution may be to no longer post birds to the list until 
after they’re gone.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Ruff at Heckscher Park - NO (Suffolk Co.)

[Gus Keri]

Why is the solution always to punish the good birders who only want 
to enjoy looking at these rare birds?Why not punishing the misbehaving 
birders/photographers?If you see someone breaking the law by harassing a 
migratory bird or stepping on restricted area to get closer to it, call the 
police and photograph them being arrested. Then post their photo on social 
media and let it be a lesson to all the misbehaving birders.This collective 
punishment doesn’t help any bird or birder.GusSent using Zoho Mail On Thu,

RE: [nysbirds-l] Ruff at Heckscher Park - NO (Suffolk Co.)

[Karen McCaffrey]

While, that is a viable punishment, safety of the bird is paramount and birders 
will have to be birders and do their own due diligence.  In other words, find 
your own dam birds instead of chasing a list.
Just my opinion, YMMV.

If you see someone breaking the law by harassing a migratory bird or stepping

RE: [nysbirds-l] Ruff at Heckscher Park - NO (Suffolk Co.)

[Larry Trachtenberg]

Photographers definitely can be incredibly inconsiderate and chase away rare 
(or not rare) birds (and then deny it).  Indeed, I remember the Gyrfalcon (like 
Ruff a bird I have never seen) spooked by a photographer at Blue Chip Farms who 
sacrilegiously uses the moniker “LarryBird.”  However, I am not sure calling 
the police is really the way to go.   So whether it’s birders v. photographers 
(redux), or anything of far more import in this world, not likely to change 
anytime soon.  In the words of Rodney King, c. 1992  -- who suffered a far 
greater indignity than missing a ruff or a gyrfalcon:

“People, I just want to say, you know, can we all get along? Can we get along? 
… I mean, we’re all stuck here for a while. Let’s try to work it out . . .”  
(Yeah, sure.)

Go Celts.

[Purbita]

Hi Larry, 
I think your sentiment of deescalating tensions is great, but comparing feuds 
between birders and photographers with police brutality of black Americans is 
off base. I'll stop there to not distract from the point of the listserv. 
Anyone can email me personally to talk more. 
Happy birding,Purbita Saha

[nysbirds-l] Ruff at JBWR East Pond - Yes 7pm - but...

[Arie Gilbert]

I was able to get a good look at the Ruff at Jamaica Bay east pond.
I arrived around 730 or so, just as Andrew Baksh was leaving, having 
'held' the bird for my arrival. Thanks for the timely posts AB.

I then joined Bob Hayes who conveniently had the bird in his scope.

The bird was just south of north island on the eastern side of the pond.

Unfortunately, at about 8pm some kayakers capsized in the bay near the 
east pond and two helicopters circling over the east pond put all the 
birds up.

Hopefully the Ruff did not go too far.

[nysbirds-l] Ruff continues at Jamaica Bay WR 7/11

[Karen Fung]

Just heard from Tom Perlman that he and John Wittenberg are looking at
the "rufous" Ruff.  It was found by Mike Stewart this morning and is
on the north end of the East Pond, about 100yds south of the north
island, on the east side.

Good luck if you go,

[nysbirds-l] Ruff at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge (Queens Co.)

[ken feustel]

Sue and I birded the East Pond at JBWR this morning, starting at the south end 
and working our way along the east side of the pond. We found the birding to be 
better at the north end of the pond, where we quickly saw the American Avocet. 
An immature Peregrine Falcon kept us company for much of the walk up the pond, 
scattering the shorebirds in all directions. We had reached North Island when 
we noticed a Ruff/Reeve on the east side of the pond a little north of the 
island. We watched the bird for a while and I obtained some poor pictures 
before something scared the birds and we could not relocate the Ruff. There has 
been some speculation that this bird might be the same Reeve that was present 
earlier on the East Pond. Sexual dimorphism in Ruffs is well known, and over 
the years I have observed many (relative term) more Ruffs than Reeves. So size 
differences in Reeves is not something I have had much experience with.

What struck us (and Andrew Baksh as well) was that this bird appeared larger 
than the Short-billed Dowitchers (11") around it.  If this was a Reeve (10") 
you would expect it to be smaller than the dowitchers, although Paulson in 
"Shorebirds of North America" indicates that a female "is of dowitcher size" 
while a Ruff is similar in size to a Greater Yellowlegs (14"). I had observed 
the Reeve at the south end of the East Pond a few weeks ago in the company of 
Lesser Yellowlegs (10.5") and the birds appeared fairly similar in size. A Ruff 
(12") would seem to be a better fit for today's bird, at least in terms of 
size. My photograph of today's bird shows white feathering around the base of 
the bill, a feature that is largely missing from last week's Reeve. I have 
posted a poor photograph of the Ruff on my Flickr site. Compare the size of the 
Ruff to the sleeping dowitcher on the extreme left of the photo. A photo of the 
Reeve that was observed in July is also on the site at 
http://flickr.com/photos/kfeustel/

There is likely better photos of the Ruff/Reeve floating around, so stay tuned.

Good Birding!

[Joe Jannsen]

6:00 PM: Along with Cesar Castillo and Johnna Vullo, standing at the end of the

[nysbirds-l] Ruff at Iroquois NWR - not seen this morning

[Willie D'Anna and Betsy Potter]

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!

Willie

Re:[nysbirds-l] Ruff on the East Pond - Access notes...

[Andrew Baksh]

Some additional access notes for East Pond visitors.

On July 9th, I had a blog post up that mentioned an area on the east side of 
the pond that was not passable.  This was addressed VERY QUICKLY, once the 
issue was raised with NPS.  NPS recruited the assistance of MTA who used their 
heavy machinery to spread gravel and create a walkway around the breach.  If 
you bird the East Pond and are ambitious to do the schlep up on the East side, 
you will see what I am talking about.  Note: the area is past the Raunt.

NPS and the helpful and gracious folks from MTA deserve huge credit for 
responding in a speedy manner.  You should have no issues save a bit of 
clambering up or down the rock pile as you get to the breach (this might not be 
to everyone's liking depending on one's mobility).  Look for the path I 
bushwhacked on the north side of the walkway onto the pond; it should suffice 
for users, but there is Poison Ivy in the area, so please watch your step.  
With boots, you should have no problem as I have used it several times already 
with no issues but it doesn't mean you should do the "river dance" through the 
area.

The valve on the North End is closed, meaning the drawing down of the pond has 
stopped for the moment.  This is just a little over the target mark but good 
enough given the dry spell.  Should we have any excessive rain, I am sure the 
valve will be reopened.

I think I have covered everything that I thought would be of assistance to 
visitors, but should you have any questions on accessibility, please drop me a 
note offline.  I'll do my best to respond in a timely manner and hopefully 
address any questions you may have.

Re: RE: [nysbirds-l] Ruff at Heckscher Park - NO (Suffolk Co.)

 No.  Not the answer. That would be a throwback to two generations ago when 
there was an "old boys network" and everyone else was locked out.

Just my opinion, YMMV.

Why is the solution always to punish the good birders who only want to enjoy 
looking at these rare birds?
 
Why not punishing the misbehaving birders/photographers?
 
If you see someone breaking the law by harassing a migratory bird or stepping 
on restricted area to get closer to it, call the police and photograph them 
being arrested. Then post their photo on social media and let it be a lesson to 
all the misbehaving birders.
 
This collective punishment doesn’t help any bird or birder.

Probably another successful chase away thanks to the photographers on the scene 
last night who relentlessly chased the bird from one pool to the other despite 
being told that the bird was best observed and photographed from the car.  
 
  
 
Unfortunately the solution may be to no longer post birds to the list until 
after they’re gone.

[nysbirds-l] Ruff at Towpath Road (Montezuma NWR area), Seneca County

[Anthony Collerton]

I'm sot sure that this has gone out State-wide yet.  Wade & Melissa Rowley
posted a Ruff (breeding plumage male, photographed) on eBird, this morning.
 Seen at 6pm last night.  It was re-posted on Cayuga Birds this morning at
8:50am.  I just heard third hand that the bird has been relocated and is
still there

[nysbirds-l] Ruff at JBWR still present at 8:50 pm

[Richard Fried, VMD]

I finished an interesting weekend of birding when I left the RUFF (at the north 
end of the East Pond of Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge) in the last vestiges of 
twilight this evening. Hopefully it will remain overnight, giving additional 
birders the opportunity to appreciate its unique beauty. Thank you Andrew and 
Heydi for the discovery and quick post. 

Lila Fried and I spent a productive but tiring weekend sampling New York's 
early summer avifauna. We began Saturday morning with Boreal Chickadee, 
Black-backed Woodpecker and Ruffed Grouse in the Adirondacks, before moving on 
to the shorebirds and rails of Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge west of 
Rochester. At last light we were serenaded by Sora as we tried to stave off 
exsanguination by an infinite mosquito army. This morning we enjoyed a 
Redheaded Woodpecker and Caspian Terns on the shore of Lake Ontario in Hamlin, 
followed by a Clay-colored Sparrow in Canandaigua before lunch with the Bald 
Eagles and Trumpeter Swans of Montezuma NWR. We got back to the city just in 
time to see the Ruff which appears to be a different individual than the one 
seen a few days ago at Montezuma. 
I heart New York birding.

Fwd: [nysbirds-l] Ruff at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge (Queens Co.)

[Derek Rogers]

Looks like Ken's photographed bird has a pronounced white ring around the
base of its bill. Andrew's and my photos (Andrew's are much better) are not
showing such a pronounced ring. Perhaps my eyes are decieving me, lighting
is always a factor out on the East Pond, but are these two different birds?
Just posing the question...

Sue and I birded the East Pond at JBWR this morning, starting at the south
end and working our way along the east side of the pond. We found the
birding to be better at the north end of the pond, where we quickly saw the
*American Avocet.* An immature Peregrine Falcon kept us company for much of
the walk up the pond, scattering the shorebirds in all directions. We had
reached North Island when we noticed a *Ruff/Reeve* on the east side of the
pond a little north of the island. We watched the bird for a while and I
obtained some poor pictures before something scared the birds and we could
not relocate the Ruff. There has been some speculation that this bird might
be the same Reeve that was present earlier on the East Pond. Sexual
dimorphism in Ruffs is well known, and over the years I have observed many
(relative term) more Ruffs than Reeves. So size differences in Reeves is
not something I have had much experience with.

What struck us (and Andrew Baksh as well) was that this bird appeared
larger than the Short-billed Dowitchers (11") around it.  If this was a
Reeve (10") you would expect it to be smaller than the dowitchers, although
Paulson in "Shorebirds of North America" indicates that a female "is of
dowitcher size" while a Ruff is similar in size to a Greater Yellowlegs
(14"). I had observed the Reeve at the south end of the East Pond a few
weeks ago in the company of Lesser Yellowlegs (10.5") and the birds
appeared fairly similar in size. A Ruff (12") would seem to be a better fit
for today's bird, at least in terms of size. My photograph of today's bird
shows white feathering around the base of the bill, a feature that is
largely missing from last week's Reeve. I have posted a poor photograph of
the Ruff on my Flickr site. Compare the size of the Ruff to the sleeping
dowitcher on the extreme left of the photo. A photo of the Reeve that was
observed in July is also on the site at http://flickr.com/photos/kfeustel/

There is likely better photos of the Ruff/Reeve floating around, so stay
tuned.

Good Birding!

Re:[nysbirds-l] Ruff at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge (Queens Co.)

[J GLUTH]

With the usual caveats about reliably identifying a bird based solely a 
few photos stated up front. Andrew's images of today's Ruff show a bird 
with much more brightly colored legs than the individual he photographed 
back on the 15th.
Soft part coloration typically decreases in intensity post-breeding in 
species where such changes occur, so I'd vote for today's bird indeed 
being a new arrival.

[nysbirds-l] Ruff - East Pond Intel and suggestion on working this bird...

[Andrew Baksh]

For anyone thinking of checking the North End. Yesterday, I cleared the north 
west trail so it is open. Please note, that knee high boots is a MUST, if 
attempting to enter the pond at that end.

The water is still draining and is higher there than on the south with many 
soft spots. Please be VERY careful if you venture there.

Yesterday, while a few of us observed the bird when it was first found on the 
south end. It was noticeably jumpy and kept its distance. I would suggest 
giving this bird ample room, as it may leave the pond if pushed.  It did leave 
the pond in the afternoon although this was more as a result of the tide having 
turned so that is also the other variable to consider.

Here's to an awesome shorebirding season!

[nysbirds-l] Ruff at Timber Pt. East Marina, Great River (Suffolk Co.)

[Ken Feustel]

This morning about 9:30AM a Ruff was observed in the marsh northeast of the 
boat dock at Timber Pt. Marina. While calling birders about the observation the 
bird flew east and landed in the marsh north of the marina parking lot. Despite 
extensive searching it had not been relocated as of 11:30AM. The bird in 
question is a breeding male with a black ruff. The white underwings were 
prominently displayed in flight. Good luck if you go -

[nysbirds-l] Ruff on the East Pond @ Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge Queens County...

[Andrew Baksh]

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.

Re:[nysbirds-l] Ruff on the East Pond @ Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge Queens County...

[Andrew Baksh]

Hello all,

Here is a link to photos of today's Ruff at Jamaica Bay East
Pond(
http://birdingdude.blogspot.com/2013/07/ruff-redux-at-jamaica-bay-wildlife.html)
.  The birds looks a lot like last year's "Rufus"/'Rufous" Ruff.

Included in my post are the shorebird numbers from today, for those of you
who are interested in what shorebirds are present.  Lots of birds, but the
diversity has not started building as yet.  It is *very, very hot* out on
the East Pond, so if you decide to visit, have lots of water and light
clothes.  Remember knee high boots are best to shorebird on the East Pond.

Good luck and Good Shorebirding!
