Benton Lake, Montana

We did not pick the best day to go see the birds up at Benton Lake.  But, with the thunder boomers building it was fun to watch the sky.

We did see a lot of different varieties of birds. Got some shots even though the light was all wrong.

First we were welcomed by this spotted sandpiper?  (please correct me if I get any of these wrong!)

Suzi especially liked the way the bird looked at us when I clicked like I would to call a cat...

Then these 2 Shovelers stopped in the middle of the road, Mom even thinking it was a great place for a nest?

Then Suzi got this shot of this Avocet.

On our way out there was this Yellow headed Black Bird as if saying goodbye.
