Other than that, for me it’s been mostly more of the usuals. Shorebirds are on the move, but it’s usually tough to get good shorebird shots in Orange County. In the last couple of days, I’ve had the following shorebirds:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Citgo Pond: Least Sandpipers, Solitary Sandpiper, Spotted Sandpiper, Killdeer.<\/li>
- Beaver Pond: Least Sandpipers, Solitary Sandpipers, Killdeer, and Semipalmated Plovers.<\/li>
- Camel Farm: Lesser Yellowlegs and Killdeer.<\/li>
- Skinner’s Lane: Killdeer.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

~Singing Hermit Thrush at Schoolhouse Pond Preserve in Boothbay Region in Maine, 07\/22\/20.~<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n I’ve also include some shots from Maine, where Red-breasted Nuthatches and Hermit Thrushes were pretty easy to come by. I also had a nice pile of harbor seals loafing on the rocks at Porter Preserve and Roberts Wharf. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
