Northern Shrike at Bennington Lake

We saw our first northern shrike of the season at the lake today on our walk.  Other birds of note were flocks of cedar waxwings, a varied thrush, common mergansers, western grebes, dunlin, a greater yellowlegs and a large mixed flock of pine siskins, mountain and black-capped chickadees, ruby-crowned and golden crowned kinglets and juncos. It was cold and little drizzly at first, but the colors are still beautiful at the lake.  The water level on the lake is VERY low.  Ginger
