Spring arrivals at Bennington Lake

There were five tree swallows at Bennington Lake this morning, all by the two boxes on the south end of the lake.  There was also a nicely colored yellow-rumped warbler in the same vicinity.  Otherwise, it was a pretty quiet day at the lake for bird migration.  There were many adults and children fishing along the bank, enjoying the spring weather. The happy sounds of spring were everywhere, both from children and the birds!  Many of the deciduous shrubs are turning green and a few are blooming.  Next week should be much brighter as the various green colors start to appear on the trees.  Ginger
