I was happy all three of us were able to get the bird. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/041520-CATE-3-Edit-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9998\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/041520-CATE-3-Edit-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/041520-CATE-3-Edit-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/041520-CATE-3-Edit-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/041520-CATE-3-Edit-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/041520-CATE-3-Edit-1200x1200.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/041520-CATE-3-Edit.jpg 1493w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption>~Excellent bird for the county!
