I had plans to meet up at the Bash with Linda Louise to do water-testing a little later in the morning, so I got up early to fit some birding in before that. I stopped at Haven Road, I walked the Birch Trail briefly, and I spent most of my time at the Nature Trail. The Bash was birdy with plenty of the usuals but nothing unexpected. Highlights for me included getting excellent binocular looks at a Common Gallinule from the Birch Trail and also of a rather bedraggled looking Broad-winged Hawk that flew over while Linda and I were water-testing at the fishing dock at the southern end of the Bash. In the end, between birding and water-testing, I had a total of 44 species.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7189\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7189\" style=\"width: 840px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/?attachment_id=7189\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7189\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-7189\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/061117-RWBL-Edit-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"840\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/061117-RWBL-Edit-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/061117-RWBL-Edit-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/061117-RWBL-Edit-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/061117-RWBL-Edit-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7189\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">~Up close and personal with a female Red-winged Blackbird at Haven Road, 06\/11\/17.~<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7188\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7188\" style=\"width: 731px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/?attachment_id=7188\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7188\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-7188\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/061117-CHIPMUNK-731x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"731\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/061117-CHIPMUNK-731x1024.jpg 731w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/061117-CHIPMUNK-214x300.jpg 214w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/061117-CHIPMUNK-768x1075.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/061117-CHIPMUNK-1200x1680.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/061117-CHIPMUNK.jpg 1724w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7188\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">~A chipmunk steals the early morning spotlight at the Nature Trail, 06\/11\/17.~<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My birding time was a little bit limited this weekend, but I did manage to do some early morning birding today at the Bashakill Wildlife Management Area.
