All,

Between 12:00 and 12:25 this afternoon Frank Vanslager and I had a mostly 
breeding plumaged RUFF in Alviso, New Chicago Marsh in the first pond northeast 
of the railroad tracks (to your right as you walk out from the Don Edwards 
Environmental Education Center access road).  The bird had bright orange-yellow 
legs, a blotchy black breast, pure white underparts, boldly barred tertials, and 
a mostly dark bill.  Many scapular feathers were usually raised on the back 
(whether facing away from or into the wind).  The size of the bird tended to 
point toward it being a male; the body seeming to be longer than dowitchers near 
it but with the shorter bill making them seem to be about the same length.  
More later on other birding.

Take care,
Bob Reiling, 1:23 PM, 8/7/03
