I got to Lake Artemesia early and started seeing birds right away. The Sun started to warm things after an hour, and more birds appeared. There was a nice variety.<\/p>\n<p>I circled the lake several times. A Tern and a Palm Warbler appeared on my last go &#8217;round, just as the wind started to pick up and make life a little more difficult.<\/p>\n<p>A Pine Warbler showed up on a quick afternoon trip to Quiet Waters.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hughvandervoort.com\/?attachment_id=38619\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-38619\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
