It started out like any other work day, but it took a bad turn during my commute when I was rear ended on the highway. Traffic had come to a screeching halt; the driver behind me was not quick enough and slammed right into the back of my car and launching my car into the car in front of me. The airbags were deployed, but thankfully I was uninjured. My car, on the other hand, did not fair as well. It was towed away and it looks like it might be totaled.<\/p>\n<p>A little later in the morning, after I&#8217;d contacted the insurance companies and made a reservation for a car rental, <a href=\"https:\/\/kyledudgeoncreative.com\">Kyle Dudgeon<\/a> offered to pick me up and take me to his house to see the EVENING GROSBEAKS that they&#8217;ve been getting there recently. I took him up on the offer, Rob Stone joined us, and fortunately the EVGRs did not disappoint. They were easily heard at first and then we had them in his front yard before the flock of 8 birds settled down to grab a snack at his feeders. This definitely made my day more than just a little less terrible. The EVENING GROSBEAKS were an OC life bird and my 225th species in the county for 2018. Huge thanks to Kyle for the hook up (and the cheer up!).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8836\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8836\" style=\"width: 732px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/?attachment_id=8836\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-8836\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-8836\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/122018-BRCR-732x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"732\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/122018-BRCR-732x1024.jpg 732w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/122018-BRCR-214x300.jpg 214w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/122018-BRCR-768x1075.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/122018-BRCR-1200x1680.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/122018-BRCR.jpg 1341w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8836\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Here&#8217;s a bird I don&#8217;t see very often, and Kyle has them in his backyard.
