We all did well with many photos of Bobolink and Savannah Sparrows. Grasshopper Sparrows were heard\u00a0and seen,\u00a0but with distant looks. Eastern Meadowlarks were mostly heard, though we did see a handful, but again nothing in close. No American Kestrels were seen by the group in the three hours we were there, and no Upland Sandpipers either. We did get an Upland Sandpiper on our way home &#8211; perched on a fence post. It was a distant but good look and I believe it was a life bird for everyone in the group except myself. It was a successful morning of birding and bird photography &#8211; I can&#8217;t wait to see everyone&#8217;s shots.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2851\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2851\" style=\"width: 584px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_7942.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2851\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_7942-818x1024.jpg\" alt=\"I was happy to get a little bit of a different look - Bobolink on the rocks, Shawangunk Grasslands NWR, 6\/8\/14. \" width=\"584\" height=\"731\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_7942-818x1024.jpg 818w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_7942-239x300.jpg 239w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_7942.jpg 1038w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 85vw, 584px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2851\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">I was happy to get a little bit of a different look &#8211; Bobolink on the rocks, Shawangunk Grasslands NWR, 6\/8\/14.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2852\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2852\" style=\"width: 584px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_7916.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2852\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_7916-1024x819.jpg\" alt=\"Savannah Sparrow on the trail, Shawangunk Grasslands NWR, 6\/8\/14. \" width=\"584\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_7916-1024x819.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_7916-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_7916-375x300.jpg 375w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_7916.jpg 1665w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 85vw, 584px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2852\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Savannah Sparrow on the trail, Shawangunk Grasslands NWR, 6\/8\/14.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2853\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2853\" style=\"width: 584px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_7924.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2853\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_7924-818x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Savannah Sparrow, Shawangunk Grasslands NWR, 6\/8\/14. \" width=\"584\" height=\"731\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_7924-818x1024.jpg 818w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_7924-239x300.jpg 239w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_7924.jpg 1214w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 85vw, 584px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2853\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Savannah Sparrow, Shawangunk Grasslands NWR, 6\/8\/14.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2854\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2854\" style=\"width: 584px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_7854.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2854\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_7854-731x1024.jpg\" alt=\"A more typical look at a male Bobolink, Shawangunk Grasslands NWR, 6\/8\/14. \" width=\"584\" height=\"818\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_7854-731x1024.jpg 731w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_7854-214x300.jpg 214w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_7854.jpg 1115w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 85vw, 584px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2854\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A more typical look at a male Bobolink, Shawangunk Grasslands NWR, 6\/8\/14.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>QUICK POST TODAY: I walked the trails out at Shawangunk Grasslands this morning with Karen Miller, Linda Scrima, Maria Loukeris, and Sharon Scavotto.
