Ruddy Turnstone



About 1:00 pm today we saw a juvenile Ruddy Turnstone along the Antelope Island Causeway.  It was on the south side, exactly 3/10's of a mile east of the 1 mile marker (or, about 50 yards east of the weather station), in company with stilts, curlews, phalaropes and a willet.  Apparently unable to locate stones, it was busy turning over clods of mud (the numerous flies on top of the mud not being appealing, I guess).
