The evening was mostly a bust, with only Killdeer and Spotted Sandpipers being observed. I was just about wrapping up, and I was looking in an area that has been good for Horned Larks, not really shorebirds, when I saw a bird naked eye that I knew had to be an Upland Sandpiper. I got my bins on it, and sure enough, it was! I was thrilled! What a bird! Regular readers of the blog know that I&#8217;m shorebird obsessed and I&#8217;m particularly partial to Uppies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/072123-UPSA-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/072123-UPSA-3-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12601\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/072123-UPSA-3-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/072123-UPSA-3-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/072123-UPSA-3-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/072123-UPSA-3-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/072123-UPSA-3-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/072123-UPSA-3-1200x1200.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/072123-UPSA-3.jpg 1764w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">UPLAND SANDPIPER in the black dirt this evening, 07\/21\/23.~<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/072123-UPSA-2-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/072123-UPSA-2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12602\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/072123-UPSA-2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/072123-UPSA-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/072123-UPSA-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/072123-UPSA-2-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/072123-UPSA-2-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/072123-UPSA-2-1200x675.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">~Uppy in the BDR, 07\/21\/23.~<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m pretty jazzed as I write this.
