I was completely freaking out and I put the word out.

What an incredible night for OC shorebirds! I&#8217;m floored by it, and I&#8217;m trying to figure out a way to get out and check on the these birds first thing in the morning, especially the WIPH, I&#8217;d love to get a look at that bird!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7159\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7159\" style=\"width: 840px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/?attachment_id=7159\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7159\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-7159\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_0479-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"840\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_0479-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_0479-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_0479-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_0479-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_0479.jpg 1501w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7159\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">~Documentary Shot of two Red-necked Phalaropes at the Camel Farm, 05\/30\/17.~<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wow, what a night at the Camel Farm!
