Later I found one of the male ruffs resting in the roadside marsh on the north side of the EEC entrance road east of the RR tracks and PG&E boardwalk, across from the metal access plate in the road. In my scope I got detailed views that included a single black bar about ½” to ¾” from the tip of the tertials. In the overcast lighting, the legs appeared yellow, and the bill looked black with a very dusky pink base. The bird shuddered a couple of times, and I hope it wasn’t sick. Nearby was a small flock of long-billed dowitchers, a greater yellowlegs, and black-necked stilts. A loggerhead shrike perched on an overhead wire.
