Rare bird at Columbia Beach
A RUFF, an Asian bird, was reported last Tuesday at Columbia Beach near French Creek. This rare but regular Eurasian visitor is found feeding along the tide lines.
He was last seen at about 5:30 pm today, August 23, with it's bill tucked into it's right wing on a gravel bar just off shore in front of the Pebble Beach Condos at Columbia Beach.
The RUFF was observed today from 4:15 pm until 5:30 pm feeding and moving along the tide line with Black Turnstones, a Sanderling, Western Sandpipers, Black Oystercatchers, Black-bellied Plovers and Least Sandpipers. " RUFF" : Photo by Ralph Hocken
