Hi all, I received a call from Phil Chaon who just found an adult male Ruff that is molting into its breeding plumage. It was mixed in with ~1,000 Pectorals but took flight with the rest of the flock. A lot of the Pecs returned but Phil is currently driving around trying to relocate the rest of the flock. Also present were 6-700 American Golden-Plovers.
