Juv. RUFF at Lower Otay Lake

Hello friends, 

Following up with the earlier report on the local WhatsApp group, a juvenile Ruff was seen earlier this morning around 11:00am by Christine Beck at the Lower Otay River area [GPS: 32.633877, -116.898749]. Big thanks to Christine and all others who have been
checking this mudflat for migrants this fall. 

Last we heard, Paul was on-site, and no peeps of any size were afoot. Likely flushed by the local peregrine falcon. Any news from Otay today? 

Thank you,

Lindsay Willrick

PS: THE COUNTDOWN BEGINS…we are almost two weeks out from the famous broad-billed hummingbird arrival date in Golden Hill. I have my feeders up and ready to welcome her, and hopefully her boyfriend too. I hope she survived the summer and returns for the 3^rd year.
I’ll post if she shows!

Past Arrival-Departure dates:
