Here is a photo of the Ruff at Anahuac Skillern Tract http://www.flickr.com/photos/gregpage/8649794637/in/photostream It was reported as a female. To me it looks like it is in juvenile plumage. It looks similar to the one in Houston a year and a half ago. Does anybody have any ideas of the sex and age?
