Hey Don, stunning find! And Louis, thanks for sharing the sighting.
Don,
Whey you say it hung around through 2PM was the sighting lost at that point while it was still there, or did you see it head off and if so, in which direction? Just curious so as others can keep an eye out for it. I imagine I am not the only one who would like to see it in person. Even more so after seeing this photo!
Thanks!

--Although I'm sure others must have photographed the ruff today, here's a morning photo around 9 am. Spotted at 7 am, the ruff hung out with several yellowlegs, seeming to follow them as they periodically shifted locations. The bird remained present through 2 pm today, granting good open views as it foraged in the grassy margins of the front pool areas. About 20(?) years ago at Weskeag, Mark Libby and I had a ruff land within several feet of us. That bird was a young male, lacking the dramatic coloration of the current specimen.Don
