This evening, on my 48th birthday, I located my 200th bird of the year in Orange County &#8211; an UPLAND SANDPIPER! The heavy rains this afternoon cancelled my golf game, so I headed to the black dirt to look for birds. Honestly, my expectations were low, but when I located this uppy, I was totally thrilled. What an excellent bird for #200! Unfortunately I did not have my camera with me, so I relied on digiscoping to document the bird. I watched the bird for a good while, and having put the word out, eventually Dick Riley and Karen Miller both showed up to get the bird. Good OC birding!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7335\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7335\" style=\"width: 768px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/?attachment_id=7335\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7335\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-7335\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/080217-UPSA-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/080217-UPSA-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/080217-UPSA-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/080217-UPSA-1200x1600.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/080217-UPSA.jpg 2047w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7335\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">~The bird was certainly wary of predators and spent a good amount of time hunkered down.
