Kiptopeke Hummers
We've enjoyed the company of several Ruby-throated Hummingbirds so far this season. They visit the feeders throughout the day and can often be seen chasing each other around the platform. Recent visitor, Jessica Ausura captured this great photo of three of them the a few days ago. Stay tuned for a photo taken by another visitor of the Zone-tailed Hawk that passed over the platform yesterday and twice today (9/24)!
