Carl is correct, there are no other reports of either species on
19 August.

Many people saw and photographed the Ruddy on 18
August, but Jon’s bird from the 19th is not the same bird and is
an unequivocal Black Turnstone.  There were no other photos of
either species submitted from the 19th, I don’t think, so the
Ruddy may or may not have still been present.

Neat stuff!

this bird. Jon Curd’s photo is quite dark.  It was a ruddy
turnstone, not a black turnstone.

Birders –
Last night from bed, I ‘found’ daho’s first BLACK
TURNSTONE, while looking through inland records of
Ruddies.
