The rest of the day proved to be uneventful. Wickham Lake held no new birds. I tried Greenwood Lake but it was socked in with fog. I stopped at Round Lake and photographed a Bufflehead. Then I headed to the Hudson River where the birds were on the scarce side. It was a tough day for pics with few opportunities and poor light. I had my best photo op of the day with a Great Blue Heron in the pond near my house, just before finishing up  for the day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/041121-GBHE-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/041121-GBHE-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10767\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/041121-GBHE-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/041121-GBHE-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/041121-GBHE-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/041121-GBHE-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/041121-GBHE-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/041121-GBHE-2048x2048.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/041121-GBHE-1200x1200.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>~A good looking Great Blue Heron in the pond around the corner from my house in Goshen Village, 04\/11\/21.~ <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/041121-BUFF.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/041121-BUFF-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/041121-BUFF-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/041121-BUFF-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/041121-BUFF-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/041121-BUFF-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/041121-BUFF-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/041121-BUFF-1200x1200.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/041121-BUFF.jpg 1562w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>~Bufflehead at Round Lake, 04\/11\/21<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/041121-BWTE-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/041121-BWTE-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10769\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/041121-BWTE-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/041121-BWTE-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/041121-BWTE-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/041121-BWTE-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/041121-BWTE-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/041121-BWTE-1200x675.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>~A pair of Blue-winged Teal at Beaver Pond in Florida NY, 04\/11\/21.~ <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/041121-EABL.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/041121-EABL-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10770\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/041121-EABL-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/041121-EABL-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/041121-EABL-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/041121-EABL-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/041121-EABL-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/041121-EABL-1200x1200.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/041121-EABL.jpg 1824w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>~This Eastern Bluebird with nesting materials was nice to see this morning with the NYS Breeding Bird Atlas ramping up again.
