Raptor Observations:
At least two Mississippi Kites and two Swallow-tailed Kites were excellent
sightings for Kiptopeke! Two Swallow-tailed were seen together between 12
and 1 and a single Swallow-tailed was seen between 11 and 12, but this
could have. been one from earlier, while 2 Mississippis were seen together
several times but probably represented the same individuals... both species
were photographed and all four kites were seen together!
Non-raptor Observations:
859 Eastern Kingbirds
