Descripción
Keyhole State Park is located in Northeast Wyoming on the edge of the Black Hills. The park features a 14,000 surface-acre reservoir created by the Keyhole Dam and 2,000 acres of land surrounding the reservoir. The combination of large reservoir, grasslands, and some woodland attracts a diversity of birds.
More than 200 species of birds can be found in the area. Some of the most commonly observed species in the summer months include the Wild Turkey, American White Pelican, Osprey, Western Meadowlark, Vesper Sparrow and Savannah Sparrow. Some of the most commonly observed species in the winter months include Bald Eagle, Red-breasted Nuthatch, White-breasted Nuthatch, and Red Crossbill. In areas with low water levels you can find waders like American Avocet, Spotted Sandpiper, Killdeer, Greater Yellowlegs and Stilt Sandpiper.
