This evening he somehow managed to relocate the five immature WHITE IBIS that had been reported in Orange County earlier this week, but had not been seen for several days (I thought those birds were long gone!). I, of course, ran for the birds and when I arrived, Rob got me on them immediately. They appeared to be getting ready to roost in the treetops on the shore of Wickham Lake. I have to say that seeing WHIB, in Orange County, in the treetops, just blew me away. It was so awesome! Linda Scrima showed up shortly after I did, and then Curt McDermott and Karen Miller not long after her. Curt had been Kayaking at Glenmere Lake, so he had his kayak. I was really excited when he pretty much insisted that I get the first run in the kayak to get some photographs while the light was still good. I paddled out and got great looks at the two birds at the very top of the trees and, of course, clicked away. Huge thanks to Rob for relocating the birds and to Curt for the kayak. What a night!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7294\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7294\" style=\"width: 2369px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/?attachment_id=7294\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7294\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7294\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/071617-WHIB3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2369\" height=\"2369\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/071617-WHIB3.jpg 2369w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/071617-WHIB3-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/071617-WHIB3-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/071617-WHIB3-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/071617-WHIB3-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/071617-WHIB3-1200x1200.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7294\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">~Two WHITE IBIS yucking it up in the treetops on the shore of Wickham Lake, 07\/16\/17.~\u00a0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>QUICK POST: Well, Rob Stone strikes again.
