It was fairly quiet, but there were two mild sur- prises: a White-breasted Nuthatch working along a cottonwood limb, and an adult male Hairy Woodpecker. I heard a likely Black-chinned Hummingbird go by, but I didn't refind it for a confirmation. As I arrived at the New Chicago Marsh, both Steve Rottenborn and Dean Manley told me they had seen the male Ruff, and I was therefore able to locate it fairly easily east of the tracks, close to where I saw it 6 days ago. It appears to be more advanced in its moult than then, with less black below (especially near the center line, which is now nearly pale), and with less striking or extensive chestnut/rufous shoulder patches. I did visit the CCFS pond after lunch, but didn't see any Semi S. among about 185 Western which were there. Mike: what time of day did you have it?
