I\u00a0had received a rare bird alert email from eBird, indicating that an\u00a0American Avocet had been seen at the wetlands. The bird was easily located and what a beautiful bird it is! Unfortunately the bird was pretty heavily backlit and there are not many spots to view the birds from, which made taking photos difficult. I am not really thrilled with the above photo for various reasons, but I had to post this awesome bird. I hope to get back in the morning when the sun will be at my back. Stay tuned for more photos.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s one more from today: <a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/MG_3429.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1926\" alt=\"_MG_3429\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/MG_3429-1024x731.jpg\" width=\"584\" height=\"416\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/MG_3429-1024x731.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/MG_3429-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/MG_3429-420x300.jpg 420w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/MG_3429.jpg 1581w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 85vw, 584px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After work today, I drove over to the Clay Avenue Wetlands, located in Lyndhurst NJ.
