A female Ruff was located this evening in Wright Marsh, Killbuck Wildlife Area. Park off R226 in the small wildlife area lot a few miles south of Wooster (from R30, take route 3 south a short distance to R226 south, then a few more miles at most). Walk the gravel road leaving the lot east, then northeast until you pass under the power lines, then begin looking in the pool and flat areas to the west and north. The Ruff was reportedly discovered Monday by Aaron Miller (hope I have the name right), then lost until this evening at about 7:00 PM. Jackie and I found the group that found the Ruff while we were looking at three White-faced Ibis we followed from the east side. We left the Ruff in the same area at about 8:15 PM. Two Short-billed Dowitchers with a single chunky Long-billed Dowitcher gave easy close looks, too. A nice evening. The Ruff closely resembled the Sibley illustration of breeding female with loose floppy tertials, lanky and busy. We'll get a photo out there (it's already on Jackie's Facebook wall). Tom and Jackie Bain. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
