Kathy and I are pretty sure a Ruff is what she photographed at Long Beach on the west coast of Vancouver Island in late August.

Again, great find and well photographed, Kathy! I like the one with other sandpipers in the shot to give scale. This bird is long ways from home (home being Eurasia!)

Looks like it just had a bath recently and is still drying off.
