Howdy Texbirders,
This afternoon, John Tharp and I discovered a Ruff which was molting into
breeding plumage, along 8 Mile Road, on Galveston Island. The bird was
located about a mile along the road on the right side. If one travels
along 8 Mile Road, one eventually comes to a wide shallow wet area on the
left. At this point on the right is a much smaller "pond" where the bird
was observed for about 15 minutes preening and bouncing up into air. I
obtained a series of photographs and then the bird flew in an undetermined
direction. We were unable to relocate the bird.
I hope that others are able to relocate this nifty bird.
