We got excellent looks at a couple of birds and photos too. Other good birds for the morning included: Merlin, Cooper&#8217;s Hawk, a trio of cooperative Palm Warblers, several Savannah Sparrows, and a Pied-billed Grebe right in front of the viewing platform. The Lincoln&#8217;s Sparrow was bird #210 for me this year in Orange County.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7486\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7486\" style=\"width: 840px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/?attachment_id=7486\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7486\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-7486\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/092417-LISP2-Edit-2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"840\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/092417-LISP2-Edit-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/092417-LISP2-Edit-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/092417-LISP2-Edit-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/092417-LISP2-Edit-2-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7486\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">~A beautiful LINCOLN&#8217;S SPARROW at Wallkill River NWR, 09\/24\/17.~<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7485\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7485\" style=\"width: 819px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/?attachment_id=7485\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7485\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-7485\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/092417-COYE-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/092417-COYE-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/092417-COYE-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/092417-COYE-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/092417-COYE-1200x1500.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/092417-COYE.jpg 1485w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7485\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">~Common Yellowthroat at Wallkill River NWR, 09\/24\/17.~<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I met Linda Scrima at the Liberty Loop this morning for a brief outing.
