My wife and I have seen fairly large groups for a week or so around Linn Co and Benton Co. Today we went up to the Paint Rock Unit of Yellow River State Forest looking for rattlesnakes and birding along the way. Yellow-rumps were, by far, the most common bird we saw today. Easily a few dozen over a few hours but there were more than that around. We could hear them everywhere.

There was a group of maybe 8-10 in the triangle area and along the steep trail into the south canyon. I've heard chips and spotted only 1 or 2 at a time in the Park since then. On April 11 a group of folks on an Iowa City Bird Club outing encountered some in the Redbird Farms Wildlife Management Area. There don't seem to be a lot of them around yet, though
