I got a text message that there was a Ruff at the pond at Willcox, about 90 minutes away. There’s also been one at the White Star Dairy in Stanfield and I had been toying with the idea of driving out there. Stanfield is a miserable 2-hour drive and then you get to poke around a big diary sewage pond. So I decided to check out the bird in Willcox.
Besides the Ruff and numerous Baird’s peeps, there were Stilt peeps, Pectorals, Westerns, Leasts, White-faced Ibis, Avocets, and many quacks that my scope-sore eyes did not want to look at. Thanks to Mark Stevenson for putting me on the Ruff.
