Hi Diane,
I saw the Red Crossbills at Jester Park yesterday. To find the spot I
saw them, first look at a map of the park and find Discovery Lake. It is
near the Nature Center. There are several places to park near the lake
including across the road near a picnic shelter. There are pines on the N,
S, and W sides of the lake and a trail that winds through them. I saw the
crossbills at the SW corner near a footbridge. They were in what believe
are red pines. There are quite a few of these tall pines up a a bit of a
hill and they have a lot of pine cones. The crossbills also briefly rested
in a couple of deciduous trees near the lake. Good luck!!

Madrid, Boone Co.. They stayed long enough for Joanne to enjoy seeing also.
They didn't return today that we noticed. I was sure there was one here two

I thought I saw a LONG-TAILED DUCK at Pleasant Creek Lake yesterday, but
the distance was too great to be sure. I checked again today and found it
much closer, so the ID was confirmed. It was near the boat launch area on
the North arm of the lake, but when I returned to the area a half hour
later, I could not relocate it. It was moving around and diving
frequently, so was not easy to find.

Subject: [ia-bird] northern shrike Monroe county |
Hi, birders,
Therese Cummiskey and I went to Monroe County on a beautiful late fall
day yesterday to see if we could find a few birds. The day started slowly, but we
persevered and were rewarded with some nice birds. The highlight was a Northern
Shrike, spotted as we meandered our way back to Albia after checking a few
spots.
Checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S76758491
We totaled 30 taxa, not a large number, but neither of us had ever been birding
in Monroe County, so had to find our way around. Included in the total
were Bald Eagle, Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, Brown Creeper, Lesser Scaup, American
Kestral, and the usual suspects. There were numerous Red-tailed Hawks
out and about yesterday.
I tried to send this yesterday, but was not allowed to send from this email address and the old one stopped working…cannot send. I will be closing that account next week. All has been fixed with this new email address.

Birders,
I am currently viewing a NORTHERN SHRIKE actively hunting in a grassy
treeline that runs north from 290th Street, just east of the railroad
tracks in Story County, near Strautman Tree Farm (which is as busy as Grand
Central Station right now), just north of Cambridge, Iowa.
I originally scoped it in a tree roughly at 41.940281,-93.527631, but it is
currently working its way south into better binocular range.
NSHR have been very reliable in this general area over the past few years.

Thanksgiving weekend typically yields a good show at the wetlands west of
Mt Sterling, Iowa and it didn’t disappoint. My Mark (who may be becoming a
birder) and I counted at least 155 Trumpeter Swans and we saw and heard the
higher pitched calls of 4 Tundra Swans that took wing along with a small
group of Trumpeters.
Few other notable species: Juvenile Bald Eagle, lots of Great Blue Herons,
a few Gadwall and a few Northern Shovelers, Ringed-heck Pheasant and

Both these birds were still present this afternoon into dark. The 2nd year
Glaucous Gull was spotted by Jamie McCoy after we had scanned the flock
several times, while birds were still pouring in. I think we found only 2
Herring Gulls in the flock on the lake. Large numbers of birds were still
present at the pond on the south side but it was too dark to check them.

Sorry for the late post. Had to drive up to Dubuque on Wednesday, and
despite the rain (and fog in some places) decided to try to find some of
those winter finches which have been wandering around.
Found a flock of 20-30 RED CROSSBILLS in the white(?) pines along the drive
up to and around Holy Family Catholic church at New Melleray. They were
there between 11 am and 1 pm at least. Lots of cones on the pines. Seemed
to be quite active despite the constant drizzle.
No crossbills across the road by New Melleray Abbey itself.

Subject: [ia-bird] Oak Grove Recreation Area - Polk Co. |
Hi Birders,
The juvenile Glaucous Gull is still visible from Oak Grove Recreation Area
on Saylorville Reservoir. It was last seen on the water amongst the
merganser flock straight west of the parking lot. Additionally, I just
finished scoping what I believe is a Red-throated Loon in the same general
area. I assume it is the same individual that was previously reported in
the vicinity. And if those two birds aren’t good enough, a couple runners
and their dog flushed a flock of 16 Common Redpolls where the trail enters
the north end of the parking lot.
Earlier today, John Bissell and I bumped into each other at the Jester Park
Discovery Pond, and then proceeded to bump into a single Red Crossbill
along with several Red-breasted Nuthatches.
Not the most pleasant day to be outside, but the birds are making up for it!
Take care,
Tyler Harms
Ames, Story Co.

It's with sadness I report that Tom Kent passed away yesterday in Iowa City

had an enormous impact on ornithology in Iowa.
In 2013, I had the honor of nominating Tom for the American Birding
Association's prestigious Ludlow Griscom Award for Outstanding
Contributions in Regional Ornithology. Tom received this award in 2014. By
way of paying tribute to Tom, I'm attaching a copy of my nominating letter.
Tom was a great friend and he will be missed by many.

Subject: [ia-bird] Northern Saw-Whet Owls, Hickory Hills today |
I was able to observe, and help others observe, 3 different NSW owls within
the pine grove at Hickory Hills Park today. They were all within a 400
yard area of each other, and 1 was easily photographed. The other 2 were
high in the cedars that they were found in. I will be going back up in the
morning to try and re-locate them, weather permitting.

I’ve been paying attention to a lot of the feeder finds. Seems like in Iowa
they have been coming in between like 9am-noonish and rarely come back. I’m
0-3 on feeder watches in Johnson Co. where they have been seen practically
2-3 hours before I’ve arrived.
Good birding,

I had a call from a feeder watcher and they said they had a "strange bird"
under their feeder. I went over to ,check it out and I am sure it was a
Lesser Goldfinch. It was on the ground with siskins, House Finches and
serveral Goldfinch. I was there for 30 minutes and it came back several
times. The location: at the S.E. corner of Madison and Parkway adjacent
to Crapo Park. Go to the east side of the house where you can view the
feeders quite well. Don't go to the house. The residents are Bev and
Duane Shebundy. Home phone is 752-2255. They know people may come to see
the bird. Call them, but not to early.

A White-winged Scoter continues at the Ventura grade, west end of Clear
Lake. It is in with some scaup and others. Otherwise it was pretty quiet
on the lake, just a few ducks around.
Four Sandhill Cranes were at Zirbel Slough. Mostly the ponds have a thin
layer of ice on them.
One Red-tailed Hawk was seen, nothing airborne. Two thousand gulls,
presumed Ring-billed Gulls, were out too far on a new area to find something
different.
It was a slow day but nice to be out in the sun and no wind.

Subject: [ia-bird] Not a sighting - Evening Grosbeak sightings map |
Howdy folks,
If you're a member of the Facebook group Iowa Birding, you may know that
I've been compiling Iowa Evening Grosbeak sightings and reports and
formatting them into a map.
I've been pulling data from this listserv, eBird, and Iowa-focused birding
groups to visualize which counties have had sightings, how recent the
latest sighting was, and how many sightings per county have been reported.
I used a combination of R (statistical programming language) and QGIS
(mapping software) to organize the data and visualize it. If you have any
questions about my process, feel free to send me an email directly.
I've attached today's updated map to this email. So far, 19 counties have
had reports of Evening Grosbeaks - primarily the east and central parts of
the state. Most reports are more than 2 weeks old (a lot of activity from
the beginning of November and not much since), and all counties have had
less than 4 reports total.
Here's to hoping we can get those numbers up! :)
Best,
Kyla Yuza, Ames, IA

Subject: [ia-bird] tufted titmouse |
For three years we have had one to several Tufted Titmouse this far north.
At the same time, Carolina Wrens moved in. The Carolina Wren has expanded
with a number having been seen in different areas this year. However Tufted
Titmouse has declined and in fact was not reported at all this year in the
area. It seems that the Titmouse has only one spot in the Waterloo area
where it can be found. Otherwise Boone or Iowa City is the place to go. It
is seen up the Mississippi River as far as La Crosse.
I find it strange that one species, perhaps with global warming, has spread
into our area, and another tried to get a hold in here and then left the
area. Is it what the birds are eating that determines if they stay in an
area??? Is it habitat ??? What would make one species continue on and the
other to quit the area??? We had looked forward to having the Titmouse in
our yards but that isn't going to happen any time soon.
Thank you to those who responded to my initial request. And if anyone has
any ideas on the above matter, please let me know.

Subject: [ia-bird] Northern Saw Whet - Hickory Hills extra Info |
I was able to locate the NSW today(with a bit of help) in the same general
location as the previous sightings(same grove), but he was about 400 yards
further East, along the path on the eastern edge of the grove.
I marked the spot with a beer bottle I found in the area, wedged between 2
trees. If you look to the west from the trail at that point, you will see
a tree that is V shaped at the base. Follow the left side of the V up
about 40-50 feet(about 4-5 feet from the top of the tree, and that is where
he was seen today.
If there are any questions, I may be able to head back up a few times over
the next week to see if he is still around, or to help others. Happy
Birding.

I was just refilling our bird feeders when our 3-month resident
Red-breasted Nuthatch flew over my head to land on branch 15 inches in
front of my face. It sat there & watched me fill the feeder, then hopped on
to eat as I walked away. I guess it wanted to thank me for a morning brunch

Hi,
After not seeing a Saw-whet Owl for 10 days , we have one this morning in Moorehead Park west of Ida Grove, Iowa. It is down low and wide open if any of you want to come today, let me know.
It may or may not stay, as other have been here for only that one day and continued on their southern migration when it got dark. My cell is 712-369-3454.

Hey all-
Christie Meader just posted a male White-winged Crossbill to the Iowa
Birding Facebook group from SW Washington County.
There have been reports of this species *farther south* of us already in
Missouri, as well. If you're not already aware, ALL the winter finches are
irrupting in the east and we should expect spillover. Both redpolls, both
crossbills (but more White-winged), and yes, BOTH EVENING AND PINE
GROSBEAK. Keep your eyes peeled and on your feeders, and ears open for all
these species' distinctive calls.

Since I can't submit on ebird with the web site down, if anyone wants to
see those possible black scoters they were seen the past 2 days from Scout
Park just west of Buena Vista University campus. If you set up a scope by
the lighthouse that gives a good view. Morning viewing is good but
afternoon sun makes things tough. I usually try to look each night at
sunset. There is also Cicle Park direclty south of the football field that
can offer closer views at times. Heres a drawing of good viewing locations
(two x's) and area circled where birds were. Incidentally this is same
location that surf scoters and white-wing scoters were seen recently.

Hi,
Can someone please tell me if these are ruddy ducks or black scoters? I saw
them on Storm Lake tonight at sunset, there were 5 of them. Some did not
have the white face patch. This was the only photo that turned out in
between waves.
Also, if they are ruddy ducks, what about their appearance gives away their
ID? When I look at photos I can't decide and I have already mistaken one
for the other this year.
Thanks,

Today there was a RED-NECKED GREBE at Pleasant Creek Lake north of Palo.
It was hanging out near a rock fishing jetty near the South end of the
dam. There was a COMMON MERGANSER and a pair of GREATER SCAUP at the very
north end of the North Arm of the lake. There has been a disturbing lack
of waterfowl on Pleasant Creek Lake this fall!
The Marsh at Power Plant Rd. and Hollenbeck Rd. had the usual large number
of TRUMPETER SWANS, a few TUNDRA SWANS and a few dabbling ducks including
two AMERICAN BLACK DUCKS.

Subject: [ia-bird] North Central Iowa Birding |
The Hampton Cemetery in Franklin County was a busy spot this morning. Several RED-BREASTED NUTHATCHES and a flock of two dozen PINE SISKINS were seen, along with 15 WHITE-WINGED CROSSBILLS and a group of 6 RED CROSSBILLS. I tried to get a recording of the Red Crossbills, but the cold temps drained my phone battery before I could. I doubt that the crossbills will stick around as there aren't many cones on the pine trees this year. At Clear Lake in Cerro Gordo County a WHITE-WINGED SCOTER was on the far west end near the Ventura grade. TRUMPETER SWANS are starting to gather in large groups (50+) in the cornfields with a few TUNDRA SWANS mixed in. Seems like it's been a good year for CAROLINA WRENS up here. Rita Goranson and Carolyn Fischer continue to see one in their yards occasionally. At my feeders I still have WHITE-THROATED, HARRIS'S, and FOX SPARROWS, and strangely a lingering female SCARLET TANAGER joined the sparrow crew a week ago and continues on. She subsists on sunflower hearts/chips that are scattered on the ground, and often hangs out with the sparrows in the brush pile.

Subject: [ia-bird] Saw-whet Owls Up date |
Hi,
I have many people asking and wanting to come to see or photograph the Saw-whet Owl here in Moorehead Park. We have had, five or six on the early migration, that were here for only the day they were found and when it got dark each of them continued their migration.
Being warm here, as well as up north, may have kept some up north from moving south. In the last 10 days we have only had one and it was gone that night so--- now nothing to report.
If we do find one early morning, I will call the people that may want to come for that day, otherwise we are waiting for the wintering one that will stay until Mid March.

Subject: [ia-bird] Re: Saw Whet Iowa City |
I was unsuccessful in locating the owl in Hickory Hill. I wonder if I was
in the correct place as I never found either of these markers. Perhaps I
was in the wrong location. Could someone provide a bit more information
about the location of the deer path? I entered the park on the 1st Avenue
side and followed the primitive trail to the East New Growth Area where I
thought the Cedar Grove is located. I saw several Cedar trees after
following a very narrow path over the primitive trail, but never saw the
burned log. Should I have entered on the Conklin side instead? Thank you
for any additional information anyone can offer. I'd like to try again
tomorrow.

Subject: [ia-bird] Saw whet in Iowa City |
Thank you so much to James McCoy for alerting about the Saw Whet. I have
waited 5 years to see one. His directions were very helpful. I can't stop
smiling. It was a blustery day, but owl opened its eyes for a few times
when the wind really picked up. It was glorious
I also bumped into another birder as I was leaving and was able to show him
where it was.
I'm a newish birder. I am so thankful to geek out with others people about
birds. I'm grateful for this listserv and the community
This is how I first learned of Saw-whets, the Rick Mercer Report. (I lived
near the Canadian border about 10 years in NY, and am kicking myself for
not being a birder then) It was a like a combo of The Daily Show with
Charles Kurault's On the Road https://youtu.be/U2lNd9Z9ZmI

Subject: [ia-bird] Merlins at Glendale |
On this clear, cool & windy evening I saw 2 Merlins simultaneously at 4:40
p.m. atop spruce trees at the northern ends of Block 20 and 21 in Glendale
Cemetery in DSM. At 4:50 there was one in a spruce in Block 33-b on the far
west side of the cemetery, but the tree in Block 20 was vacated. At 5:00 I
saw one in an oak tree in the middle of Block 37-i at the northern end (in
sight of the Northwest Community Center). It was subsequently strafed by
another Merlin, and both flew off together. I went back to the south, and
one was still sitting in Block 20, so I'm thinking there may have been 3
altogether, a first for this fall.

If anyone wants to see the bird I marked the spot. There is a fairly well
worn Deerpath on the downhill side of the Cedar Grove. I put a partially
burned log where you need to go off trail. If you look straight up hill
from that point you will see a green plastic bag on a cedar bush. If you
stand with the plastic bag near your right hand and look up hill you will
see the bird about 15 feet up in a fairly thin Cedar.

Even though the lighting was horrible today, I put on the flash and sat on

The other down to last 1/3 closest to the house. They always eat those

Subject: [ia-bird] Saylorville Snow Buntings |
.Hey I-Birders,
Sometimes the fourth time is the charm. The SNOW BUNTINGS reported
several times in the last week at "the point" at Oak Grove beach
(Saylorville Res, Polk Co.) were seen well this morning by Karen, Harney,
and me. We counted eight individuals, giving us good, close views on the
ground before taking flight. The success of the mission was likely
arriving early in the morning.
Other noteworthy recent sightings include a late BROWN THRASHER at Red
Feather Prairie on Thursday. Yesterday at the north end hedgerow at Red
Feather we had two HARRIS'S SPARROWS, and the yard opposite the upper
parking lot contained an unexpected female SPOTTED TOWHEE which we first
located by voice and then had lovely looks at. Scoping from the dam
yielded several COMMON LOONS and some distant duck flocks of various
species which included our FOS COMMON GOLDENEYES.
Good Birding,

Subject: [ia-bird] Good birding Saylorville & Big Creek |
I took my weekly swing trip down to Saylorville & Big Creek Lakes this
morning, managing to get a list of 56 species. Some of the good
observations included a flock of *Snow Geese *(headed down river near
Madrid); 6 *Horned Grebes, *1* Red-necked Grebe* and at least 37 *Bonaparte's
Gulls* at Big Creek; more than 40 *Common Loons on Saylorville Lake;
*a *Rough-legged
Hawk* west of Luther; and a mixed flock of *Purple Finches* and *Cedar
Waxwings* all feeding on a crab apple tree along the road at Jester Park.
There were at least 15 species of ducks in good-sized flocks on
Saylorville, but 90% were sleeping with heads tucked, at a long distance
out and in poor light, so there might have been several more than what I
managed to ID.

and along came a Wild Turkey. He was enjoying the dropped bird seed!
I was the only one there and stayed quiet. He stayed around about 20
minutes. What a beauty!
Happy Birding,

Taking Gracie-girl out for her last walk of the day, our dog paused as we
approached our house, ears alert. I started to hear it, too, and took down
the hood of my coat: I'm pretty sure I was hearing sandhill cranes flying
overhead with their distinctive calls. I never did get a visual on them,
but it thrilled my heart to hear their calls for several minutes!

Subject: RE: [ia-bird] Ducks on the road |
From Iowa DNR today, forwarded by Jane Clark
Nov. 10, 2020
For immediate release

Migrating waterfowl killed by vehicles after confusing wet pavement for wetlands Monday night
A unique weather phenomenon caused migrating waterfowl in northwest Iowa to mistake wet parking lots and roads with wetlands and marshes last night, resulting in hundreds being stuck and killed by vehicles.
State Conservation Officer Steve Griebel, of Woodbury County, started getting phone calls and text messages about ducks on the road around 9:30 p.m. Monday, then again early Tuesday morning. He saw it firsthand today while heading east on Hwy. 20 toward Hwy. 71.
“I counted over 200 dead ducks on the highway, and can only imagine how many dead ones were out of sight in the ditch,” Griebel said. “It was all different species – mostly bluebills, but there were mallards, buffleheads, teal. It must have been an epic migration.”
The migration began when bitter cold settled into central Canada and the Dakotas sending ducks and geese south, and then turned fatal when the waterfowl encountered a strong mixed precipitation weather front and needed to set down.
“Situations similar to this one has been known to occur when you have extreme cold weather that collides with a strong front,” said Orrin Jones, state waterfowl biologist for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. “This is a unique, one-time event that there’s nothing much we could do about, and should be over now.”
Those looking to utilize the road killed ducks will need to be properly licensed, which means a valid hunting license, habitat fee, migratory game bird fee and federal duck stamp and follow daily bag and possession limits.
Unique weather phenomenon in the Upper Midwest seems to occur in November and the most famous occurred on Armistice Day in 1940, that started with temperatures in the mid-50s and ended with more than a foot of snow, and 150 people and thousands of livestock dead.

I was driving on Hwy 175 between Ida Grove and Battle Creek. Any idea why

Subject: [ia-bird] Black Scoter at Rathbun Lake, Appanoose County |
I-Birders,
Yesterday I went to Rathbun Lake to see if I could find the Black Scoter previously reported. I could not find it, nor the Western Grebes. However I was able to find the Black-bellied Plovers, only 3 of them.
After Tom Johnson reported the Scoter still at the dam this morning, I decided to try again, after I got done canning the pears. I got there around 3:15 and couldn’t see the Scoter. I drove across the dam and back, then back again. I called Tom to ask where to look, and he was kind enough to drop whatever he was doing to come help me find it. Since he knew where to look, we spotted it right away. I even got some photos.
In addition to the Scoter, we found the 2 Western Grebes, 16 Common Mergansers, 1 Pelican, maybe 100 Canada Geese, many gulls, 75 or so Red-winged Blackbirds, 6 Juncos, 1 Green-winged Teal, 1 Common Goldeneye, 1 Blue Jay, 3 Bald Eagles, 1 Pied-billed Grebe. Yesterday among the many Ring-billed Gullse, I found 4 Franklin’s Gulls. I did not see them today.
Many thanks to TJ for being my expert guide for the day. I think the Scoter was diving when I was looking for it before Tom arrived. Or, maybe his eyes are better!
In addition to a beautiful weather day, it was a pretty good birding day too!

Subject: [ia-bird] Bays Branch Black-bellied Plover |
Hey I-Birders,
A visit to Bays Branch WMA (Guthrie Co.) had some unexpected finds of
the shorebird type. First we spent some time scoping the hundreds of
waterfowl from the bluff at the south end. A good variety of species was
present, including a couple dozen WHITE-FRONTED GEESE and at least four
CACKLING GEESE. A whitish NORTHERN SHOVELER seen and reported by others in
recent days was present as well.
Afterwards we headed to the crossover of the slough just to the north
at 190th Ave. We parked on the east end in the hunters' lot and began
scoping. Ducks were largely absent here, but we were excited to find
shorebirds in the shallows south of the crossing, most notably a juvenile
BLACK-BELLIED PLOVER which we had fantastic scope looks of, despite the
wind. Others present included a few DOWITCHERS and DUNLIN, a pair of
GREATER YELLOWLEGS and singles of LESSER YELLOWLEGS, PECTORAL SANDPIPER,
and SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPER. A nice morning to be out, despite the windy
conditions.
Good Birding,
Stuart Sparkman

Subject: [ia-bird] Oak Grove, Saylorville |
Hey I-Birders,
Karen, Harney, and I stopped by Oak Grove Beach this morning at
Saylorville Reservoir (Polk Co.), hoping for a look at the RED PHALAROPE.
After some scoping Karen located the bird in the direction of the bridge
and, though somewhat distant, got nice views due to calm waters and
excellent light conditions. Nearby I spotted a WESTERN GREBE, which is a
nice find. Not much else on the lake, though we saw about 30 or so COMMON
LOONS and three RED-BREASTED MERGANSERS. An AMERICAN PIPIT flew over us at
one point. I wonder how long this phalarope will stick around. Must be
finding enough to eat.
Good Birding,
Stuart Sparkman

Subject: [ia-bird] Bays Branch - Don Williams Lake and Carlson RA by Boone. |
Bays Branch had thousands of ducks and geese. The all white Northern
Shoveler is still there although pretty muddy compared to the first time I
saw it mid October. The most remarkable birds were 18 Greater Yellowlegs, a
Wilson's Snipe along with some Rusty Blackbirds in the North end and 15
Trumpeter Swans.
At Don Williams lake there were only Pied-billed Grebes on the water but a
large stand of Pine trees on the West side looked Owly so I walked the
trails that wind through them and did see one Barred Owl. Sitting at a
picnic table for a half hour watching the Grebes and fall tree reflections
on dead calm water was the highlight of this 75 degree day.
Stopping by Jay Carlson area West of Boone there were 75 Ring-billed Gulls
and on the river South of the bridge two Greater Yellowlegs.

It wasn’t planned, but at the last moment, I decided to duck into Des Moines’ Glendale Cemetery at 5:00pm tonight, while driving past on university Ave. Drove up the hill, to block #20 and a Merlin was perched at the top of a pine – the only pine on the block with the highest 6ft dead - providing great visibility.
Also – for got to report that while sitting on my deer stand a half hr. before sunrise, a Woodcock went winging by. And heard a Pileated calling in the distance.

Subject: [ia-bird] Redpoll & late shorebirds in Story & Boone counties |
I checked Tedesco Environmental Ed. Learning Center at Ames this morning
and saw one *Common Redpoll *with a flock of goldfinches & House Finches.
There might have been more redpolls, but before I could scan the entire
mixed flock, a *Cooper's Hawk *flew over and exploded the finch flock
completely out of sight.
Then I went north to check out Little Wall Lake and Anderson Lake (AKA
Goose Lake) at Jewell where I found 12 species of ducks. Next, I
returned home via Bjorkoboda Marsh and nearby wetlands. At private land
McHugh Marsh I saw 5 *Willets *(a near record late date???), and at a
nearby CWRP wetland there were 3 *Wilson's Snipe* and 4 *Dowitchers *(probably
*Long-billed*, but hard to be sure at a long distance). In my 3 1/2 hour
drive I managed to find 44 species--not bad for a beautiful warm and quiet
morning with mirror-like lakes!

Subject: [ia-bird] Close encounter of the kinglet kind in Johnson County |
Seeking solitude and quiet at Hanging Rock Ridge (HWA) this afternoon, I enjoyed the long walk out and back, surprised on my return trip to see a pair of Golden-crowned Kinglet's emerge while foraging amidst the dense, dead foliage still clinging to an oak tree to the side of the path, felled by the derecho this summer. Somewhat similar to Doug's experience, one of them approached so closely that I could almost reach out for it. I didn't have my camera with me, so I simply enjoyed a close encounter of the kinglet kind ;-). A fine cap to a beautiful second summer afternoon.

Subject: [ia-bird] Tame migrant poses for photos
While doing some backyard work this afternoon there was a large variety of migrant birds that seemed quite tame. When our daily little Red-breasted Nuthatch showed up again, I went in to get my camera to try getting close-up pictures. On my return outside, that bird had disappeared, but suddenly a Golden-crowned Kinglet was hopping straight toward me from under our pine trees. I had to keep backing up to take photos because it got so close to me. But I ended up with some nice photos!

While searching for the Common Redpolls that have been reported at Tedesco

female Summer Tanager hawking insects along the creek in the northwest
corner of the park. I whiffed on the Common Redpolls, but the Summer
Tanager was certainly a nice consolation! An image of the Summer Tanager is

Hey I-Birders,
I had no luck this afternoon with the continuing Red Phalarope at Oak

I found three RED-BREASTED MERGANSERS. Other than that, very little in the
way of water birds besides loons and gulls. I couldn't believe how many
people were at the lake this afternoon. It was like the Fourth of July.

Subject: [ia-bird] Prairie Falcon, Carroll County |
Birders,
Around noon a probable Prairie Falcon flew across the road in front of
me. Just south of Willy in SE Carroll County. It headed north in a
hurry. This region has had Prairie Falcon sightings in recent late
fall/winters.
Bird on!

Subject: [ia-bird] Surf Scoters Moore Rec Area E. Pocahontas County |
A pair of Surf Scoters were found at Moore Rec Area E Pocahontas county
North pond. This is a small property that used to be a quarry; it is
located on P15 ~0.5 mi north of HWY 3 in Pocahontas County. There are two
ponds, the birds were on the north ponds and the only birds on the water
(lots of pipit or longspur action thinking longspur, but honestly wasn't
focused on them). I also noted a small flock of Pine Siskin bouncing around
the property…
Should note that the blacktop this property is on is very active with heavy
trucks coming and out of the active limestone quarry....do defer to said
trucks.

The RED PHALAROPE continues off Oak Grove. The SNOW BUNTINGS reported from
the point earlier in the morning had been replaced by seven AMERICAN PIPITS
by mid-morning. 20+ COMMON LOONS could be seen from there. Diane
Dentlinger and I checked for the Common Redpoll at Red Feather Prairie but
didn't have any luck. A NORTHERN SHRIKE made an appearance in the area so
that was nice sighting.

Subject: Re: [ia-bird] Evening Grosbeaks in Iowa |
Jim and All-
The period you refer to here in the 70s and 80s corresponds, if I recall
correctly, to a peak of both spruce budworm and of Evening Grosbeak
population in the boreal forests north of here. Spruce Budworm follows a
boom and bust cycle feeding on balsam fir, and there were many records of
EVGR across Minnesota at that time as well. Once the budworms died off a
bit, the grosbeaks dwindled as well (I think some spruce/fir specialist
warblers did too? Cape May, for instance?).
Now, in northern MN and S Ontario, budworms are doing very well again and
in the past two years in northern MN at the Coe College Wilderness Field
Station I have had regular detections of Evening Grosbeak in the summer,
suggesting local breeding (we had a juvie show up two summers ago, the
first detection at the station since a huge flock was present in... the mid
80s.)
The movements of many different winter finches this year (siskins,
crossbills, possibly redpolls and even maybe Pine Grosbeaks, out east at
least) suggest that tree crops were bad. I would guess that high
reproduction and poor winter food sources have combined to push them out
of their regular winter range.

Subject: [ia-bird] Fall Raptor Trapping at Hitchcock Nature Center |
I thought list subscribers might enjoy the attached fast-moving action sequence of low-res images I’ve attached - showing the trapping of a juvenile Red-tailed Hawk this fall.
As a registered volunteer at Pottawattamie County’s Hitchcock Nature Center, I spend a few days each fall season, assisting Jerry Toll with diurnal raptor trapping. I help with opening nets for the day, removing birds, and closing the nets, as well as resetting them following a capture. Having used photos to illustrate several feature articles for Iowa Outdoors Magazine, I also contribute many images to Jerry and the Nature Center - for their use in educating the public. Each year is exciting – never knowing what might come into the nets on a given day.
The attached photos: Responding to the lure bird – a Redtail stoops (diving) from high above - tucking his wings above his back and rocketing downward. Closing the distance quickly, he brakes just a few feet from his quarry - spreading his wings and fanning his tail downward. As he reaches for his victim, the lure bird is pulled just out of reach, the net is tripped, and he’s caught. Following removal from the net, he is taken to the blind, where his general condition is assessed and logged, along with weight and several measurements. Lastly, a leg band is attached, and he’s allowed to continue his adventurous journey- now logged as part of Iowa’s fall raptor migration!
Listed as one of the top 25 Hawk Watches in the country, a formal Raptor Migration Count has been conducted at Hitchcock for nearly 30 years! The Nature Center also features an observation tower where the public is encouraged to view migrating raptors – often passing at eye-level.
Hats off to Jerry – for 12 years of collecting raptor trapping data, used for scientific trend analysis, and to Pottawattamie County for their support of the raptor trapping and hawk watch efforts! It’s all about the science – and science matters!

Subject: Re: [ia-bird] Evening Grosbeaks in Iowa |
Good evening all,
Thanks to James Dinsmore for an excellent recap of recent viewings of Iowa
Evening Grosbeaks.
7 reported at Port Louisa NWR on Friday (Oct. 30th). I could not
resist and took off from West Des Moines arriving 5:15 PM where I joined 3
others but we did NOT see any of the birds despite staying until dark.
Being rather convinced that these birds are an "early to bed and early to
rise" species I took a hotel in Muscatine overnight so I could be there at
7:30PM. Despite persistence and being joined by 15 other birders, this
flock was not seen again. I returned to West Des Moines for the 16th BDay
for one of my grandsons. Another flock seen later in the day by Chuck F
and James H. at John Carter's home just northwest of Burlington. Having
already planned to visit my son and family in Davenport, my wife and I
called John Carter to see if we could come visit him on the "roundabout"
route to Davenport. We arrived and were able to see one male there today
about 1:45PM (after a very short10 minute wait). Something flushed all
the birds and we did not see it again during the next hour. Thanks to John
Carter's welcome in his home today I was blessed to add #375 for Iowa--one
reasonable photo in the shade of a feeder. It was seen again by another
couple later in the afternoon. Bob (Grinnel) reported one at a feeder
there. Wisconsin and states south and east over to the Atlantic coast
have reported some as well. Keep an eye out, I am convinced there will be
more sightings of this very cool bird.
God Bless,

Subject: [ia-bird] Rare Birds - New Records Committee Website/Application |
Hi All,
With the influx of Evening Grosbeak records, I wanted to draw your attention
to the updated Iowa Records Committee site - https://iowabirdrecords.org/.
This recent upgrade has now been published and I hope you find it useful.
Functionally, it is now useable on a cell phone so it should be much easier
to even document a rare bird while you are in the field. Try it out
sometime. The review list changes year to year as the status changes for
some species. Be sure to review it from time to time -
https://iowabirdrecords.org/ReviewList.aspx.
The site is also a treasure trove of information on the evidence that goes
into the species and status of those species on the Iowa list. It includes
all records that have been acted upon the Iowa committee since 2000 with the
rest to be added hopefully this winter. The various reports -
https://iowabirdrecords.org/Reports/ - will help the curious answer such
questions as 1) how many recent records are there of Swallow-tailed Kite?;
or 2) what records have been processed so far this year?; or even 3) what is
the last species added to the Iowa list? Records Mapping gives you a good
visual of the distribution of rare species in the state.

Birders
The recent flurry of reports of Evening Grosbeaks in Iowa and a discussion I had this morning with son Steve reminded me that I had written a paper on that subject some years ago. The paper, "Evening Grosbeaks in Iowa: An avian mystery" appeared in the now defunct IOU News, volume 26, no 1, pp 6-7 published in 2010. Some of you may still have copies of that issue. The paper pointed out that the species had been a fairly regular but rare winter bird in Iowa in the 1970s and 1980s and was seen on CBCs all but three years from 1970-1990 but then virtually disappeared from Iowa. The last report of one was in Fairfield in 1998. Since 2010, there have been a few reports in Iowa but it has remained a rare bird here with no real explanation for its disappearance. My only personal experience with the species in Iowa was a few seen in Ames on a class field trip in March 1978. One of the lucky observers that day is now an (unnamed) active birder/member of the IOU.
With the advent of eBird and so many more people now looking at birds, it will be interesting to see if there are more observations in Iowa and elsewhere of this very different looking species that often visits bird feeders. Keep watching.

Hey I-Birders,
Karen, Harney and I walked Red Feather Prairie this morning (SE
Saylorville Reservoir, Polk Co.). The cheery sunshine would belie the
chilly wind that threatened to blow us into the lake. A hungry
SHARP-SHINNED HAWK presented itself as we first exited the car, and posed
properly for viewing. Few birds were seen along the trail due to the wind,
but at the southern point we spotted a FOS HERRING GULL loafing with a
flock of RING-BILLED GULLS. Along the hedgerow at the north end the number
of sparrows was way down from a couple weeks ago, but we still managed to
spot two HARRIS'S SPARROWS sitting up high. Small flocks of AMERICAN
GOLDFINCH were scattered here and there, and we spotted a group of four
PINE SISKINS among one large gathering in a bush. Nearby, a solitary bird
atop a cedar tree proved to be a FOS COMMON REDPOLL, which posed for a
lengthy study of its features. A few EASTERN BLUEBIRDS were about, and a
single EASTERN MEADOWLARK flushed in front of us at one point.
Later, at Bob Shetler Rec Area in the lee of the dam, we checked out
the ponds. Last Thursday I had seen 54 HOODED MERGANSERS (which I did not
report) on the easternmost pond, and I noticed another birder reported on
the listserv subsequently having a few more than that. In the same spot
today there were approximately 110 hoodies, with over a dozen RING-NECKED
DUCKS mixed in. Also present was a pair of FOS BUFFLEHEADS. On the home
front, a CAROLINA WREN was next to our driveway as we left, and I noticed
just as I began writing this report that it was on the back yard suet
feeder with a companion, the first time I've seen two in the yard this
year.
Good Birding,

Good morning,
Currently looking at a Red-necked Grebe from the beach at North Overlook at Lake Red Rock. This was one of my nemesis birds but worth the wait. Also a group of Ruddy Ducks present. Russ from Pella / Knoxville.

Notable species over the past 24 hours at Deere Dike, Dubuque, include 4
Surf Scoters, 3 Black Scoters, 2 Horned Grebes, and 2 American Black Ducks
yesterday afternoon (30 Oct.). This morning, I had a continuing (?)
Eurasian Tree Sparrow at my feeder, and a first county record BLACK-BELLIED

I read that you should report the Trumpeters with collars.......they are
doing a special study regarding migration and dispersion. You can report
and read about it here:

Subject: [ia-bird] Evening Grosbeaks |
I was at Port Louisa, along with many others and did not see the
Grosbeaks. HOWEVER, James Huntington called me around 1PM to tell me they
were not seen. At the time, I was on the phone with a good birder and he
had just photograhed Evening Grosbeaks at his feeder. I called James back
and we met at this persons house and after a wait of 15 minutes, 5 males
and 2 females showed up They stayed for 10 minutes eating sunflower seeds
and then left. This was at 2PM.
Directions: North of Burlington approx 2 miles on US 61 to Flint Bottom
Road and then west to 12113 Flint Valley Rd. John Carter is the owner and
he is very eager to show you the birds if they stay around. Call first.
His cell phone # is 319-850-1287. He will not be home tonight, but plans
to be around all day tomorrow.
