I joined Karen and Diane Bliss and we got incredible looks at this magnificent creature, what a big beautiful beast. Wilma Amthor joined us and got her lifer GHOW, so congrats to Wilma! I was, of course, wishing I had my camera to get some photos. Karen offered her scope so I could try to digiscope it. I was pretty happy with the results; I&#8217;ve tried with my own scope and never had any decent results. What a great, fun night. Huge thanks to to Karen and Diane for locating the bird and letting me know about it. I am actually out of commission through the weekend (I&#8217;m going away on a golf trip), so this was a great way to go out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>QUICK POST: After my golf match tonight, I called Karen Miller to see if she had relocated the 17 American Golden-Plovers (!!!) that Bruce Nott had located in the black dirt earlier in the day.
