Early Birds

A beautiful morning at the Hawk Tower at Kiptopeke! 
Anna is already on the lookout for this morning's migrators. 

We have had some wonderful visitors this week, including this lovely female Rose Breasted Grosbeak, who delighted viewers yesterday at the feeder. Tim Barry took this lovely shot.
I am excited to be this year's Hawk Watch Educator/ Intern, and thrilled to be surrounded by so many expert raptor identifiers... I will learn so much from this crew! Looking forward to meeting new, and old, visitors to the Hawk Tower... please come see Anna and me when you get a chance! 
Peter Harris took this amazing shot of a Bald Eagle, and Anna pointed out that this is a 4th year...
Just lovely!! 
Yesterday's count was 354...
So many amazing birds are passing through, I feel extremely lucky to be a part of the CVWO team for this year's season. Hope to see you soon at Kiptopeke!
