Alice, will you please add this and any other of your shorebird siting to my new mission: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/14083185

It's in nonbreeding plumage. A Ruff would be quite a sighting in Florida at this time of year. Willets are the most common shorebird (besides the Sanderling) found on the Florida coasts.
