The sun came out, the fog went away, and the path got muddy. But it was worth it because this morning on our Tuesday morning walk we saw a tree sparrow at Bennington Lake. It was in the middle of the sunflower patch along with dozens of white-crowned sparrows, juncos, and song sparrows. Standing guard above the patch on a kestrel box was a sharp-shinned hawk. After the hawk flew away to chase some white-crowned sparrows in the rose bushes, the tree sparrow came back up and sat on top of a weed. While we were watching the sparrow, a flock of 21 common redpolls flew overhead and landed in the trees nearby. We saw a total of 25 species for the day. Ginger
