We found some unexpected birds on our walk around Bennington Lake this morning. Three black-necked stilts were standing on the edge of the water just below the parking lot; a red-eyed vireo was singing in a cottonwood on the south end of the lake, and a turkey vulture soared over as we were walking along the west side of the trail. yellow-breasted chats and gray catbirds were along the west side of the trail, and Bullocks orioles, black-headed grosbeaks, peewees and yellow warblers were abundant all around the lake. Today we saw and/or heard 44 species.
Anyone is welcome to join us on our weekly survey of the birds at the lake. This summer our normal schedule will be Tuesdays at 7:00 a.m. It usually takes us 3-4 hours to complete the walk. If the time or day changes I will post the change on the website.
