Hola Birders,
Kiptopeke is alive with birds now despite that may be a result of the burst
of north winds we received yesterday. Below are some
recent interesting sightings from the platform and around the park.
Platform:
2) Golden Eagles today
1) Northern Goshawk yesterday

many thousands of Common Grackle with slightly fewer Red-winged Blackbirds
Red-throated Loons are now frequently seen flying over throughout the day

Red-tails continue to move through in nice numbers, a great variety of size
and plumage makes these one of my favorites.
