For some reason, Artemesia seems to get more accidentals than other places I visit.<\/p>\n<p>I picked a good day. The LT Ducks have been there a few days, and I found several other good birds as well. Many birders were visiting as well.<\/p>\n<p>A quick stop at Buddy Attick didn&#8217;t find much interesting.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_41773\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption
