We&#8217;ve had rain,clouds and serious winds for several days, which kept me almost completely out of action.<\/p>\n<p>I decided on Artemesia as it was a weekend and traffic is considerably lighter as a rule. As I get older, I dislike traffic even more.<\/p>\n<p>Artemesia was good to me, if not a bonanza. The Loon was a nice surprise, and a friend pointed out a couple of snakes, which I seem to miss most of the time. A few other cooperative birds made for a decent morning.<\/p>\n<p>I stopped at Truxtun Park in the afternoon and found a couple of birds as well.<\/p>\n<p><a
