A Slow Day at Bennington Lake

There were 23 tundra swans flying away from Bennington Lake as MerryLynn arrived for our Tuesday walk on February 18.  Even though the lake was open, there were only a few mallards on the water.  It was very quiet walking the trails.  We did see 2 great horned owls and heard a third one.  Near the parking lot we came across a small flock of black-capped chickadees that included a golden-crowned kinglet.  The wind didn't pick up until we were back in the parking lot and it didn't rain, so all in all it was a good walk. We saw or heard a total of 20 species. Ginger
