By the time I got out to the loop this evening along with Maria Loukeris, the bird had relocated to very deep into the pond. It was too far for photos, but we got enjoyed good looks in the scope. The bird flew short distances a few times, showing its beautifully marked black and white underwings. Huge thanks to Linda for both locating the bird and also for the great photo.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3133\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3133\" style=\"width: 584px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/cropIMG_0091138.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-3133\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/cropIMG_0091138-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Willet at the Liberty Loop, 8\/14\/14.
