Ruff
Greenfields Wetlands, Dry Creek
Water level lower than a week ago. Breezy.
Ruff (1) Male (size cf adjacent Red-kneed Dotterel), First immature non-breeding, I think (green-yellow legs; fairly distinct brownish crown). Seen and photographed in two areas of main pond (probably the same bird).

Rock Dove
Amata Waste Water Treatment Plant
Morning observations - 0700-0800 hrs. Clear, warm and sunny expected top of 39 degrees.
Rock Dove (1) Odd sighting that caused me some excitement. Have never seen a Feral Pigeon on the APY Lands before. This specimen was huge and healtrhy, will make a nice dinner for one of our many local raptors! Note red/yellow rings on legs. A lost racing pigeon?

Common Greenshank
Amata Waste Water Treatment Plant
Dusk visit (approx. 1830-1930) to crack i.d. on what I had originally passed off as a Whiskered Tern.
Common Greenshank (1) Familiar 'tew-tew' call alerted me to its presence as I pulled up in car. Not seen earlier in the day - perhaps arrived throughout the day sometime?
