As it was, I had a hellacious work day and ended up working pretty late. I did make it out the Newburgh Waterfront in time for one darn good bird late in the evening: a hatch year LAUGHING GULL. The bird was hanging out with a number of Ring-billed Gulls on the docks by Blue Pointe restaurant. Earlier in the evening, I missed some good birds. Rob Stone had two SOOTY TERNS fly south along the river, as well as another unidentified tern. Also, Bruce Nott, after putting in a lot of time at the river, went to Washington Lake and located a Common\/Forster&#8217;s Tern there. And finally, while not not on the river, Linda Scrima had a Short-billed Dowitcher in the puddles at Turtle Bay. Once again, bad weather = good birds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/080420-LAGU-3-Edit-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10228\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/080420-LAGU-3-Edit-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/080420-LAGU-3-Edit-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/080420-LAGU-3-Edit-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/080420-LAGU-3-Edit-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/080420-LAGU-3-Edit-1200x1200.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/080420-LAGU-3-Edit.jpg 1412w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption>~Juvenile Laughing Gull at the Newburgh Waterfront, 08\/0420.~ <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/080420-LAGU-2-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10229\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/080420-LAGU-2-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/080420-LAGU-2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/080420-LAGU-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/080420-LAGU-2-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/080420-LAGU-2-1200x1200.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/080420-LAGU-2.jpg 1406w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption><em>~One more shot of the Laughing Gull at the Newburgh Waterfront, 08\/0420.~<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>QUICK POST: Today would have been a good day to get out of work early.
