Time will tell, I guess. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/111719-FISP-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9621\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/111719-FISP-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/111719-FISP-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/111719-FISP-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/111719-FISP-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/111719-FISP-1200x1200.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/111719-FISP.jpg 1353w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption>~Field Sparrow, Warwick NY 11\/17\/19.~ <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"732\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/111719-BAEA-2-732x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9622\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/111719-BAEA-2-732x1024.jpg 732w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/111719-BAEA-2-214x300.jpg 214w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/111719-BAEA-2-768x1075.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/111719-BAEA-2.jpg 1156w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption>~Bruce and I had 3 Bald Eagles while we were trying to relocate the shrike, 2 adults and one young bird.
