Bennington Lake In The Rain

It was very windy in the parking lot this morning when the Tuesday Walkers started, but we saw a dunlin and a least sandpiper in the mud with the killdeer so that was nice.  The wind abated, but then the rain came!  Some of us crossed the canal and headed back to the cars, while the rest trudged on in the rain and mud.  There were green-winged teals, mallards, northern shovelers, common mergansers and a horned grebe on the lake.  An adult bald eagle circled the lake a few time before it flew off to the east.  At least one Anna's hummingbird is still around and was at the feeder.  Twenty seven species today – not bad for a VERY wet outing.
