Hi birders
 
This morning around 10am, there was a basic-plumaged Ruff  foraging in a 
flooded field along Griffith Neck Road in Dorchester County. The  location was 
approximately 5.2 miles east of Bestpitch, on the north side  of the road. The 
bird was loosely associated with a small flock of Killdeer and  was foraging 
around a flooded depression some 200 yards from the pavement.  It was still 
present when I left at 11am.  The low light  and stiff breeze made for poor 
digiscoping conditions. I've posted  some of the more passable images at
