Bennington Lake Field Trip Results - October 19

Nine people participated in a walk around the lake on this crisp, clear morning.  The fall colors were beautiful and many nice birds were seen by the group.  The highlight of the walk was a flyover of seven tundra swans as we were returning to the parking lot.  They circled twice before heading off in a southerly direction.  We saw a total of 32 species with the highlights being:
    buffleheads
    western grebes
    greater yellowlegs
    fox sparrows
    Townsend's solitaires
    northern shrike
    yellow-rumped warblers
    ruby-crowned kinglets
    cedar waxwings
