1. <https://ebird.org/checklist/S250253287> 2. <https://ebird.org/checklist/S250253287> 3. Here are my entries for this year. Spread out over a large area of the state from Keosaqua to Estherville. Not the large number of 400 I had near Storm Lake last year. They get very secretive during nesting as do many birds. I discussed the lack of Warblers in central Iowa the other day and it's my thought many birds were killed by large hail in Missouri and Arkansas after seeing a map of the damage. There was more red on those maps than not. Just a theory. <https://ebird.org/species/boboli/> 1.
