Birding Bonanza at Bennington

Migrants were everywhere at Bennington Lake on September 26.  The trees were full of ruby-crowned kinglets, Wilson's, orange-crowned, Townsend's, and yellow-rumped warblers, Cassin's and warbling vireos and Anna's hummingbirds. To top that off we saw 40 snow geese flying overhead, 3 great egrets in the canal and a northern goshawk flying over our heads.  The lake was covered with canada geese, white-fronted geese and hundreds of ducks.  I counted 56 species of birds this morning and probably missed some.  It was the best birding I've ever had at the lake!
