While it&#8217;s been an excellent year for me with shorebirds in Orange County, photo ops have been very few. So, with that in mind, I raced towards Apollo Plaza after work and luckily the bird was still present. At first I didn&#8217;t think I would get any photos because the BASA was staying mostly hidden in the grasses, but eventually the bird worked its way out and into the open. What a difference from see them a couple hundred yards out like we have been in the black dirt! What a beautiful bird; huge thanks to John for posting and to Patrick Dechon, who originally located the bird on Monday.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/?attachment_id=8516\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-8516\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8516 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/090518-BASA-6-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"840\" height=\"840\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/090518-BASA-6-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/090518-BASA-6-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/090518-BASA-6-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/090518-BASA-6-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/090518-BASA-6-1200x1200.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/090518-BASA-6.jpg 1427w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/?attachment_id=8518\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-8518\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-8518\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/090518-BASA-3-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"840\" height=\"840\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/090518-BASA-3-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/090518-BASA-3-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/090518-BASA-3-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/090518-BASA-3-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/090518-BASA-3-1200x1200.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/090518-BASA-3.jpg 1389w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/?attachment_id=8514\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-8514\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-8514\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/090518-BASA-4-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"840\" height=\"840\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/090518-BASA-4-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/090518-BASA-4-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/090518-BASA-4-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/090518-BASA-4-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/090518-BASA-4-1200x1200.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/090518-BASA-4.jpg 1375w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/?attachment_id=8517\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-8517\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-8517\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/090518-BASA-1024x731.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"840\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/090518-BASA-1024x731.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/090518-BASA-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/090518-BASA-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/090518-BASA-1200x857.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I saw John Haas&#8217; report this morning that he had a BAIRD&#8217;S SANDPIPER at Apollo Plaza, I knew there was a good chance I&#8217;d be heading to Sullivan County after work.
