We can confirm sighting of Ruff on 7/23. Last seen by us and the Kirschbaums at about 11 AM this morning. Good views by scope, but too far for our 500 mm lenses. These friendly people were not in the office, but left a friendly message on the door, "Birders, go down the road and take the second right!"
