KPC hosted its first Prairie Discovery Tour of the year last Saturday and our visitors were well rewarded. As we hiked around Warren Lake we spotted three Bald Eagles (two mature eagles and one immature eagle), a flock of Sandhill Cranes feeding in a nearby field, and a Great-horned Owl perched in a hummock of trees.
Bald Eagles have been relatively easy to spot on the prairie this year. In fact, participants in the Christmas Bird Count reported observing over 30 Bald Eagles over the entire count circle just on January 1st. It's very likely that this number is a high estimate and is the result of some double counting, but it still is a good indication of how often these magnificent birds are spotted.
