female, adult, outside normal range
Prince Edward County - This North American rarity has been present for about 10 days. The water in a flooded field was deep enough that I only got the occasional glimpse of the strikingly coloured legs a few times. I have only seen a very few of these birds in my years of birding and this was my best result so far.

There was some debate whether this was a Reeve (female Ruff) or a Buff-breasted Sandpiper. The experts agreed on the Reeve.

A lifer for me, hope to see the male some day in breeding plumage.
