This evening from approximately 7:10 to 7:50 pm, Michael Burns and I had stellar views of the RUFF along the intermittent clumps of pickleweed that form a partial edge to the first pond east of the railroad tracks as one heads north from the EEC entrance road in Alviso. With the golden sunlight lighting up the bird's color and forming a contrast with the nearby dowitchers, Michael spotted it right away, and we had clear scope views of it feeding and preening until the light began to diminish. The yellow orange legs were distinctly different in color from a yellowlegs. The bill was black with white just above it. It had a plain light gray face, brownish gray cap, white-edges to the feathers with black and/or chestnut centers, and a black blotchy breast. Michael remarked it was his best look at a RUFF so far, and as a lifer for me, I had to agree it was the same for me.
