Thanks to Chris Takacs for the first photos of the Ruff spotted at DeKorte Park today. The Eurasian bird is rarely seen in these parts. For more on the Ruff click here

We’ve had several sightings of a Ruff at DeKorte Park this morning. As of 10 a.m. the rare bird for the area was spotted in the open in the impoundment near the start of the Marsh Discovery Trail. We’ll have more updates as we get them. Please send any updates and photos to brian.aberback@njmeadowlands.gov.

Thanks!
