I finally found some birds after three  consecutive days of zilch. I do this for fun, but that wasn’t fun. I blame the very warm Fall, but who knows?
I heard that things were better at Buddy Attick and Lake Artemesia, so that’s where I went.
Buddy Attick had a good selection, and I spent a couple of hours there.
Artemesia was good as well, even if many of the birds were too far out for good images.
