Two new species for me at Manitou Lake just now! 27 total species today.
An adult Bonaparte’s Gull was circling the lake; giving me great views.
And an American Kestrel was hunting from the telephone lines at the south end on Hwy 67.
These two species bring my 25 year total for the Lake and surrounding area to 159 species!
Complete list below.
