I figured my chances were pretty slim of finding that bird &#8211; John Haas had scoured the Bash the day before and today as well without any luck. On Haven Road, I ran into John along with Lance Vanderame and we shot the breeze for a little while. There was not much going on there, though I did watch a young Bald Eagle fly in and perch on a muskrat hill. After that I went over to the boat launch off of Route 209 where I was pleasantly surprised by a lingering pair of Blue-winged Teals. I also was able to get some photos of a couple of Wood Ducks:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2650\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2650\" style=\"width: 1944px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_7931.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2650 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_7931.jpg\" alt=\"A pair of Wood Ducks at the Bashakill WMA, 4\/24\/14.\" width=\"1944\" height=\"1388\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_7931.jpg 1944w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_7931-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_7931-1024x731.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_7931-420x300.jpg 420w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2650\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A pair of Wood Ducks at the Bashakill WMA, 4\/24\/14.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I, of course, struck out with the Little Blue Heron, but it was still a nice evening at the Bash.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I went out to the Bashakill Wildlife Management Area today after work.
