I was hoping for Horned Larks\/Lapland Longspurs\/American Pipits and also to sift through some geese looking for rarities. I did well with American Pipits, seeing them in several locations and finally getting some photographs, but struck out with larks and longspurs. I had a hard time finding any collections of geese; eventually I did find a couple of larger groups, but other than Canada Geese, the only other goose I found was a single Snow Goose. I had a pleasant surprise when I located two late moving<strong> American Golden Plovers<\/strong>. They were late enough that when I went to do my eBird report they were flagged as a rare bird. Not an amazing morning, but any time I get a shorebird in OC, I&#8217;m a happy birder.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7612\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7612\" style=\"width: 820px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/?attachment_id=7612\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7612\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-7612\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/110517-AMGP2-820x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"820\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/110517-AMGP2-820x1024.jpg 820w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/110517-AMGP2-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/110517-AMGP2-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/110517-AMGP2.jpg 1002w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7612\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">~One of two American Golden Plovers in the Black Dirt this morning, 11\/5\/17.~<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; QUICK POST: I took a cruise around the black dirt this morning.
