Yesterday was a home run gulling at the Hudson River, then this morning I did a quick cruise around the black dirt where I located a remarkable 8 LAPLAND LONGSPURS. I found 2 off of Route 12 in New Hampton, and an additional 6 on Ridgebury Road in Slate Hill. From there I headed over to the Bashakill to check to see if the large flock of Snow Buntings were still present. They were, and they were quite accommodating. I ran into Karen Miller while I was there and we located a distant Rough-legged Hawk, off of Haven Road; I don&#8217;t think they get them there very often. From there I called it a day a little on the early side, but it was a good morning.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/0211421-SNBU7-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/0211421-SNBU7-1-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10656\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/0211421-SNBU7-1-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/0211421-SNBU7-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/0211421-SNBU7-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/0211421-SNBU7-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/0211421-SNBU7-1-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/0211421-SNBU7-1-1200x1200.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/0211421-SNBU7-1.jpg 1791w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>~Snow Bunting &#8211; Haven Road at the Bashakill, 02\/14\/21.~ <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/0211421-SNBU.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/0211421-SNBU-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10657\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/0211421-SNBU-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/0211421-SNBU-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/0211421-SNBU-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/0211421-SNBU-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/0211421-SNBU-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/0211421-SNBU-1200x1200.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/0211421-SNBU.jpg 1664w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>~THE THREE AMIGOS!
