[Maine-birds] Re: (probable) RUFF - Scarborough, 6/30

Hi All:    I was out at that spot with the birder from San Diego at about 1 and saw this bird in the furthest, largest pan on the right side of the trail.  We saw what must be this bird with willets and yellow legs. Noticeably larger with rufous neck and head and as sort of "scaly" looking back, light belly.  Very rough looking over all (no pun intended).  Bill shorter than the other birds working very slowly in comparison to the other waders.  Never having seen a ruff, I can't be sure but that was the closest thing to it in appearance.  Hope someone can nail a picture for you to id.  Mine is too indistinct to help

Passing along a third or fourth hand report of a RUFF in the pannes off the Eastern Trail through the Scarborough Marsh. Posting this now to get the word out but will share more as details surface.

Good birding,
