Did not relocate the ruff at 0800. The pond where he was first seen was full of spoonbill when I arrived, and no shorebirds were present. On the left pond there were 100's of shorebirds but were out if range of my binoculars. Lafitte's cove was dead, minus all the birders, from 0830 to 1000. -- Clayton & Linsey Leopold Texas City Edit your Freelists account settings for TEXBIRDS at //www.freelists.org/list/texbirds Reposting of traffic from TEXBIRDS is prohibited without seeking permission from the List Owner
