[TN-Bird] Ruff - Reelfoot Area - TN More Photos

April 27-28, 2007
Phillippy Pit Area
Lake Co, TN
 
Mike Todd discovered a Ruff on Friday and I went up Saturday afternoon and  
found the bird still hurriedly feeding in a wet area that has been a Wind  Bird 
magnet for years. This molting adult bird has much of his alternate plumage  
in place and evidently just started working on its neck ruff. Mike took some  
great photos that can be viewed at his web site and his address is given at my 
 page. I put together a few of my poor Ruff and Reeve photos including a few  
notes on this birds plumage and some photos of previous birds seen at the 
Pits  in Memphis. These birds that are becoming more and more numerous here in 
the  Mississippi Flyway.
