There was a ruff present this afternoon (Fri.) at Deal Island. Heavily =
into alternate plumage -- rufous and black with beginnings of white =
patches on the neck. It was seen on the first road into the management =
area (not Riley Roberts Rd) in the mud flats in front of the spot where =
the yellow-gated service road begins. Seen by the Brodericks and Jurigas =


Also there were three black-necked stilts. Across the road in the tall =
dried grass was an American bittern.
