[SBB] Ruffs (2 ea. juveniles), New Chicago Marsh near RR tracks

At about 10 am this morning (9/7) Frank Vanslager and I had a juvenile RUFF in the first pond on the right as you head out the RR tracks from the EEC entrance road. After watching the Ruff for about 30 minutes we continued on out the tracks to the junction. Later Mike Mammoser had two Ruff in the same pond unfortunately one flew shortly after he found it just before we got back to the pond. However it was clear that the remaining Ruff was a different bird as it had limp; it also had a whiter throat, the neck and chest was not as brightly marked and it seems to have retained all of it's juvenile plumage while the first Ruff had already replaced a row of scapulars (on the lower row centers were not as dark and the edges were a light gray rather than a buff color). Later Peggy Don, Mike and I had the first Ruff about a 100 yards further along the track while Frank was continuing to watch the "Gimpy" Ruff. Both Ruffs were smallish being heavier than but about the same length as nearby LESSER YELLOWLEGS (nearby GREATER YELLOWLEGS were much larger [longer and heavier] than either Ruff) and in my opinion both of the Ruffs are Reeves. Both birds had grayish-green legs (the hurt Ruff favored it's left leg but seemed to have all parts of both legs and feet). Mike Rogers managed a quick lunch time view and Peggy was still photographing the hurt Ruff when we left at about 12:45. Earlier we had a begging juvenile CASPIAN TERN on the first island in Salt Pond A16 and we had two SNOWY PLOVER near the RR junction.
