All,

This morning Frank Vanslager and I saw the juvenile BAIRD'S SANDPIPER (a 
couple different times) in the channel on the north side of the Don Edwards 
Environmental Education Center (EEC) entrance road.  We also had at least one 
juvenile SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPER (one sighting in the morning and one at about 12:30 
PM) in New Chicago Marsh just west of the EEC boardwalk.  At times there were 
good numbers of (15-20) juvenile WESTERN SANDPIPERS in this same area.  
Nothing special in Salt Pond A16 (all 4 adult BLACK SKIMMERS were flying together at 
one point, a single BONAPARTE'S GULL and a poorly seen DUNLIN).  No sign of 
the juvenile Black Skimmer or the Ruddy Turnstones.  At about 11:30 we spotted 
the male RUFF toward the center of the marsh (100 yds northeast of the 
railroad tracks and 100 yds past the first pond on the right from the EEC entrance 
road).  The Ruff no longer has the black spots on the side of the chest, the 
legs are still looking pinkish-yellow but it retains a couple alternate greater 
coverts.  At one point while waiting for the Ruff to emerge from behind a patch 
of pickleweed I caught a quick glimpse of what seemed to be another Ruff 
entering into the same area of pickleweed, sometime later Frank also saw what he 
thought was a second Ruff very near the male.  However, thirty minutes plus of 
continuous viewing failed to produce the second Ruff (the male was almost 
continually in view).  Earlier we had been unable to find the Reeve from the 
southern dike of Salt Pond A16.

Take care,
Bob Reiling
