I got lucky and was able to locate a single BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPER, along with two American Golden-Plovers. The birds were distant and mostly backlit, but still it was a thrill to see them. I put the word out and Silas Wareham and Jeanne Cimorelli both ran for the birds and got them. On a personal note, this evening put me over the 200 bird mark in Orange County for the year, with birds #200 and #201.  Pics were tough, but I tried my best to document. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/081925-bbsa-4-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/081925-bbsa-4-1-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/081925-bbsa-4-1-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/081925-bbsa-4-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/081925-bbsa-4-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/081925-bbsa-4-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/081925-bbsa-4-1-1200x1200.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/081925-bbsa-4-1.jpg 1328w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">~Always a thrill to see this bird.
