This is I believe an adult Ruff possibly a female? It was at Santa Maria Sewage on September 10, 2013. Wes Fritz showed me a juvenile Ruff at this same sewage plant Friday September 6, 2013. A very good birder says this may be a Least Sandpiper. I did see a real Ruff on October 1, 2013 at the Santa Maria River Estuary. The morning light meant I got a lousy picture so you are going to have to trust me on this. It is the middle bird of the three birds in the foreground.
