Walla Walla Birding: Rooks Park and Bennington Lake

Rooks Park and Bennington Lake

Today was a good day for birding since there was some sunshine peaking out of the clouds here and there. I saw some Cedar Waxwings, Great Blue Heron, ring necked duck, a yellow legs and a Pileated Woodpecker at Rooks Park. At Bennington I saw a Great Egret, a few Flickers, American Kestrel and more Cedar Waxwings. The picture with the waxwing eating a berry is my favorite from today.
