So, I was pretty stoked this afternoon when John Haas called me to tell me he&#8217;d had a very cooperative LALO at the Neversink Reservoir. It was a little late in the afternoon, but I decided to run for the bird. On my John called me; he was going to meet me out there to help locate the bird. When I arrived, John was already there and on the bird. Running for a bird doesn&#8217;t get any easier than that! And the bird was a beauty, in beautiful plumage and was very confiding as John had indicated. The icing on the cake was a single Snow Bunting on the rocks; it was another cooperative bird. The Lapland Longspur was my 192nd bird in Sullivan County. As always, huge thanks to John for all the help. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/103021-LALO-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/103021-LALO-1-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11183\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/103021-LALO-1-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/103021-LALO-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/103021-LALO-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/103021-LALO-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/103021-LALO-1-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/103021-LALO-1-1200x1200.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/103021-LALO-1.jpg 1957w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>~Awesome bird!
