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.
