Summer's View
After dropping off the rv to have the windshield replaced, we all loaded into the car and headed out to the Benton Lake National Wildlife Refuge to look for some birds to add to our list. We were not disappointed!
In the fields along the road to the center, we spotted a ring-necked pheasant - gorgeous! After stopping at the visitor center, we drove around the lake loop road. Before we reached the water, we saw a gray partridge, which was also a new one for us.
Once we reached the water, we identified about 20 more birds to add to our list! Woo hoo! I don't remember them all now, but I know we saw woodcocks, curlews, yellow headed blackbird, Northern Shovelers, and Cinnamon Teals, among a lot of others! It was a great birding day!
Sorry, no pics - I don't have the right equipment to shoot those kinds of close ups so you can actually see a bird and identify it in a pic. :)
