Bennington Lake today

This is the slow time of the year at the lake, but the Tuesday walkers were able to find 4 great horned owls, a barn owl, 2 Cooper's hawks, a sharp-shinned hawk, a northern shrike and numerous small wintering passerines.  The lake is free of ice once again, but there was little on it – 6 green-winged teal, 2 mallards, 2 killdeer, a ring-billed gull and a great blue heron.  A beautiful morning for a walk.
