Spotted an osprey in Mason City this morning, off South Federal just west of the driveway to the State Patrol office sitting in the field a few yards from the road with a kill. Beautiful fully mature bird. Also saw a large group(100+) of pelicans on the big pond just south of the Avenue at the Federal exit.

Subject: [ia-bird] Black-crowned Night-Heron at Cedar Rapids |
Tonight an adult flying BLACK-CROWNED NIGHT-HERON was the highlight of Cedar Lake. Second place went to a continuing adult
LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL. BCNHs are seen less often in the spring than in the fall so it was a pleasant surprise. Gull numbers were really down from 2 days ago which must have been the peak. That day had as many Ring-billed Gulls as any day I can remember at the lake.
Also I saw my FOY gosling which somehow survived a prolonged running of the gauntlet of RB Gulls. Where were the parents? After taking a beating it finally found its way to an adult goose. My last scoping was of them touching, beak to beak. A happier ending than I expected.

Subject: [ia-bird] Cinnamon Teal, Jefferson (new locale) |
Birders,
I just found another/the same from last week Cinnamon Teal while scanning a flooded corn field adjacent to the USDA office parking lot in Jefferson (Greene County)
To get to this parking lot, go south of hwy 30 a short distance on hwy 4. It is the first driveway south of the lumber yard on east side of the hwy.
Happy Earth Day Eve!
Bird on!

There is currently an adult Tundra Swan at Prairie Lakes Park in Black Hawk County. It’s sitting in the grass with some Canada Geese right now and it’s roughly the same size as them. The bird just flew in about 10 minutes ago. There’s also 5 Common Loons on the main lake and the continuing flock of Snow Geese.

Hey I-Birders,
This morning Harney and I visited the lake (Polk Co.) to see what
might be around. Noteworthy birds at Cherry Glen included
YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKER, EASTERN BLUEBIRD, OSPREY, HERMIT THRUSHES
and EASTERN TOWHEE (FOY). A stop later at Cottonwood found FIELD
SPARROW (FOY) and EASTERN MEADOWLARK on the entry road and at the pond
were at least 50 HOODED MERGANSERS and a dozen or so BLUE-WINGED TEAL
among the other waterfowl species. An opossum scuttling along the
water's edge was an unexpected daylight sight.
Good Birding,

This evening I was really surprised to find the 1st cycle GLAUCOUS GULL I last saw 10 days ago at Cedar Lake. Tonight it was near Sandy Beach at Coralville Lake
and is now record late by 5 days and counting. Will it return to Cedar Rapids?
Also tonight I drove by the Eastern Iowa Airport and a SHORT-EARED OWL was again flying at the west end. This species dates back to December 12th at this location.

Subject: [ia-bird] Boone County woodcock and more |
Birding Ledges State Park & vicinity near Boone this morning, I found 4 new
FOY species:
- American Woodcock--3 (flushed in woods just west of Oakwood Picnic
Area--always a good area to find woodcock in spring)
- White-throated Sparrows--12
- Yellow-rumped Warblers--1 male & 1 female
- Brown Thrasher--1
There was a big flock of Song Sparrows (~45) at McCoy Wildlife Area, next
to the Boone Wildlife Research Station, and there were also Am. Tree
Sparrows, Lincoln's Sparrows and Fox Sparrows mixed in with them. Saw lots
of other birds, but maybe the best of the morning was a leucistic robin
seen right near where I flushed the woodcock. Photo is attached.
It seems like the change to nicer weather has started moving the birds
through again, and on the radar at 10:30 last night it looked like there
were some big northbound movements ocurring.

Subject: [ia-bird] Red-throated Loon (photo) in Linn Co. |
This morning I spotted a RED-THROATED LOON at Pleasant Creek Lake, west of the beach. I was struck by the color gray of its crown which looked
like breeding plumage gray to me. If so this would be the closest to that plumage I've seen in Iowa.
Common Loons must be at peak numbers as 20 or so were present and also at least 5 Horned Grebes.
A Belted Kingfisher was an unusual sight on my way to the lake via a gravel road. At a farm I saw the bird fly across the road and back landing atop
a corn crib. I stopped and watched and it seemed to favor that perch. I figured there must be some water around but there was none, not even a creek,
that I could see in any direction. This was a first for me but I assume the bird will move on.

Subject: [ia-bird] Marbled Godwit AND Whimbrel - Fairfield Airport |
Birders,
On Tuesday, April 16, 2018, I posted that a colleague had contacted me
regarding a possible Whimbrel at the Fairfield Airport in Jefferson
County. Many thanks to Julie Johnston and Diane Porter for following up on
the report and posting fantastic photos of a Marbled Godwit which they both
located at the airport.
Attached is a photo received from my colleague Orrin Jones, Waterfowl
Biologist with the Iowa DNR, taken at the Fairfield Airport on April 16,
2018 around 8 AM. Although distant, the photo shows a large shorebird with
a long, slender body and slightly de-curved bill. I believe the bird
pictured here is indeed a Whimbrel.
So, it appears the Fairfield Airport was the place to be for uncommon
shorebirds on Tuesday!
Take care,
Tyler Harms

Subject: [ia-bird] Marbled Godwit, Hudsonian Godwit |
Mike Stephens called me at noon today and told me about the Godwits and I
went to the location and they had remained. This is in the western part of
Appanoose County . The location is go north of of 474th st. on113th Ave
which changes to 115th ave. and drive until the road ends in the
backwaters of Lake Rathbun.This on the south fork of Charitan River. The
Godwits were together in the shallow water. There were 2 Marbled and 1
Hudsonian and the size difference was interesting. On 113th Ave. a
Rough-legged Hawk was spotted which seemed late for here.Tom Johnson,

Subject: [ia-bird] Cinnamon Teal - Woodbury Co |
At lunch today I found a cinnamon teal between Sioux City and Sgt. Bluff.
The bird is on a pond just north of the intersection of Elk Creek Road and
Glen Ellen Road. It was VERY close to the road, so I didn't spend much
time trying to photograph it as not to flush it. I did attach a blurry
photo tho. Also, 2 willets at the sod farm east of Sgt Bluff.

This morning I birded the Boone/Hamilton County line, at Bjorkboda Marsh
and some private wetlands a mile to the west. Found Yellow-headed
Blackbirds (FOY), Rusty Blackbirds (FOY) and Swamp Sparrows (FOY)
It was a good area for a variety of other sparrows, including Savanna
(many), Song, American Tree & Lincoln's. Also lots of pelicans, coots and
waterfowl, including some late Snow & White-fronted Geese still hanging
around.

Birders,
Late Wednesday evening I found two Black-crowned Night Herons huddled together and sleeping on the Hunter Tract at Dunbar Slough in western Greene County. I have attached a map with a circled area where they were. A scope would be required as you look west from B Ave. This is approx .5 north of 290th Street. There is a LOT of waterfowl still present, with new arrivals showing up on the regular.
Bird on!

Subject: [ia-bird] Johnson Co Yellow Headed Blackbird |
This evening around 6:30 I decided to make the most of the snow and stopped by Sycamore Bottoms on the south edge of Iowa City on my way home. Among the usual suspects were buffleheads, scaups, coots, shovelers, 3 trumpeter swans, hermit thrush, song, tree and white throated sparrows. As I was driving out via the road leading to the parking lots for the apartment buildings I spotted a lone Yellow Headed Blackbird atop one of the trees in front of the apartments. I was able to snap one blurry picture through the snow before it flew off to the south towards the wetlands. This was a county bird for me so it was a very pleasant surprise on a not so pleasant evening.

At 1:30pm the Sanderling John found was continuing to feed on the shore
along the west side of the point. It was joined by a half a dozen Cliff
Swallows and an American Pipit. The Spotted Sandpiper was continuing on
the shore in front of the back parking lot which would be on the south side

I have been seeing some fox sparrows here by Browns Woods in West Des
Moines, but never anything like at the moment. From my window I see no
less than 11 of the pretty little fellows foraging at the edge of my back
lawn, where it backs up to a wooded ravine which connects with Browns
Woods. Hermit thrushes have been around also for a few days, as well as
several (4-6) golden crowned kinglets and an eastern towhee coming to my
neighbor's feeder. Bad weather has a silver lining.

Subject: [ia-bird] A "Loonie" day in Polk County |
Birding my way to Des Moines this afternoon, to give an evening bird
program, I stopped at Big Creek State Park. Big Creek Lake was absolutely
covered with pelicans and cormorants, but mixed in with them were many
Common Loons. I counted at least 31 loons and couldn't even see all parts
of the lake, so there were probably more.
Down at Cottonwood Access, below Saylorville Dam, there were several more
Hermit Thrushes plus my FOY Brown Creeper, which I managed to get some
portraits of, and several FOY Tree Swallows. Also saw about 6 Cooper's
Hawks and 2 Sharp-shinned Hawks in the area, all appearing to be headed
north in migration.
Before leaving home this Noon we were 4 Fox Sparrows and 2 Lincolns
Sparrows under our feeders. Fox Sparrows have now been here daily for over
2 weeks. It looks like they've converted from a forest species to an open
farm town species!

While 2 Common Loons and the Osprey were still present and vocal (so cool
to hear each of these birds) at Hickory Hills this afternoon, the bird of
the day was the Brown Creeper. There were 6 of them... Seen in different
parts of the park, so I wasn't counting the same birds twice. Even saw one
on a Burr Oak before I got out of the car! Watched one forage via my
scope... Pretty fun to watch it up close.
Also saw a Golden-crowned Kinglet, Hooded and Red-breasted Mergansers and
lots of E. Phoebes & Tree Swallows and the usual ducks.
On another note, for the last two days I've had a nice Hermit Thrush in my
yard. A first for my yard list!
Saw a field with about 15-18 Wild Turkeys (1 Tom was displaying) right east
of Cedar Falls around noon today. Didn't expect to see such a gathering of
them right off Hwy 218 at that location.

Subject: [ia-bird] Piping Plover and other Shorebirds - Johnson Co. |
There's a couple thousand shorebirds at the Hawkeye Wildlife Area and I totaled 14 species today. But scoping wasn't the best as the air
was cold and sunshine warm. The minority of shorebirds, not Yellowlegs or Pecs, included;
1 Piping Plover (East of DNR Headquarters on off-shore flats.)
1 Marbled Godwit (South of DNR Headquarters parking lot.)
1 Hudsonian Godwit (East of Sand Point's base.)
1 Semi-palmated Plover
1 Am. Woodcock ("moonwalking" across Swan Lake Rd.)
0 Least Sandpipers (none seen yet!)

I had some surprises while birding today. Ducks and geese still at all-time highs with open shallow ponds. The lake is still half frozen or more but full of waterfowl. Otherwise we are covered in snow. At Clear Lake there was a lone Eared Grebe on the west end near the curve. I call it Deadman’s Curve. At Ventura grade, a Black-crowned Night Heron flew into the dead grasses by the road. At Union Hills the ducks along the blacktop spooked and up flew an American Bittern with them. It landed on the south side and sat there with its nose in the air. At Zerbil Slough there were two Sandhill Cranes. Hopefully they stay around. All in all, 72 or so species with a sun out and decent temps. Of course snow is forecast for Wednesday.

I was just contacted by a parishioner (I’m a pastor) who found an injured pied-billed Grebe. They know I’m a birder and contacted me asking both for an identification and wondering what to do to help it. They live in rural Carroll County, not far from Lanesboro. Is there an animal rehab person in the area who could come and get it or to whom they could take it? Any interim care instructions?

Even though I didn't have much time to watch. the wintry bird yard festival
was eve better than yesterday. All the birds of yesterday were still around
except the RC Kinglet at the feeder, but there were now 4 Yellow-rumped
warblers constantly gobbling uo the suet and sunflower hearts. In additiuon
there were White-throated Sparrow and Song Sparrow at the feeders,
and six woodpecker species, nicluding Flicker, Pileated. and Sapsucker.
The raptors also appeared with Cooper's and Sharp-shinned, Broad-winged,
and Red-tailed Hawks, plus Osprey. Keep looking out the window, and
don't be surprised to have unusual sightings

Subject: [ia-bird] Osprey, Hermit Thrushes in Boone Co. |
On the way to Ames thIs morning, I saw an Osprey (FOY) flying up the Des
Moines River over old Hwy 30, between Ogden & Boone. I stopped at Emma
Mcarthy Lee Park in Ames later this afternoon to find some FOY Hermit
Thrushes and saw nearly a dozen in about 10 minutes, plus took some
portraits (one attached).
Something else I noticed along about a 3-mile stretch of old Hwy 30 today,
was at least a dozen dead birds laying on the roadsides. It looked like
they were probably hit by cars during this past weekend's storm. At least 4
were juncos, 1 robin, 3 or 4 blackbirds, a flicker, a Hermit Thrush, a
couple of unidentifiable sparrows and even a Downy Woodpecker! Sure hope
there weren't a lot of other roads in Iowa with something like this.

on same section of trail saw 3 Long and or Short eared owls. I am surprised
they have not migrated North yet. Also found another Red-tailed hawk nest

Subject: [ia-bird] Silent auction |
Hello birders,
I will be attending a seminar the weekend of May, 18th and will not be able
to attend the spring meeting. So, I will not be setting up the silent book
auction. I know this is something people look forward to and has been a fun
part of the meetings in the past. So, I am asking if anyone would like to
take up the small responsibility of doing it in my place? I takes about an
hour and a half to set up and usually there are people around who jump in
to help. The only qualification would be that you are fit enough to haul
some boxes of books around or are nice enough to be able to enlist the help
of others. If you are interested please send me an email and I will
coordinate with you to get some of the books in storage to you.
Also, I would be interested in passing the torch on to another willing
person. It has been a fun part of the meetings for me in the past. Now, my
daughter is starting to show more interest in birding and I would like to
start bringing her to meetings. I usually camp and with the added
difficulties of having a small child with me, it all just seems a little
too much for me to handle. If anyone is interested please let me know.
Thank you and good birding,
John Cecil

With the blizzard here in Mason City, Friday, rain, & Saturday snow, came hundreds of birds into the yards looking for food & shelter. Never had to leave the house for a day of birding! 43 species of birds!
From Rusty Blackbirds to Wilson Snipes, and
Yellow-rump Warblers, it made a April Blizzard, a fun birding day!

Subject: [ia-bird] Loons & Osprey at Hickory Hills- Tama County |
There are five Common Loons on Casey Lake this afternoon at Hickory Hills.
I've heard vocalizations twice. I also had an FOY Osprey who I watched fish
successfully. It was also quite vocal. Watched the Osprey through the
scope while it was perched on top of a Burr Oak near the water; it was
alternating balancing on 1 leg. Pretty fun to watch the behaviors.
I also saw the 3 COLO's and the Lesser Yellowlegs at Greenbelt Lake that
Connor reported today. Also at Greenbelt Lake, I saw 11 Red-breasted
Mergansers, a bunch of Pied-billed Grebes, a FOY Yellow-rumped Warbler and
my FOY Golden-crowned Kinglet.

Jester Park had approximately 75 Hermit Thrushes through 1 loop through the

I received a text from Andy Schmitz on Friday that there were a few Purple
Martins at the nest boxes at the Brenton Arboretum in Dallas County. I
don’t expect things to end well for them if they stuck around this weekend.
Probably a lot more fun for birders than birds.

Birders
This date is reliably when Rough-winged Swallows return to their nesting cliffs on the Cedar River at Palisades-Kepler SP in Linn County. However, today seems more like January 105th, and the swallows were no shows.
The park was fabulously birdy around noon, however, with most of the birds seeking food on the roadsides. Hermit Thrushes (which seem to be uncommonly common this year), Fox Sparrows, Chipping Sparrows and Juncos (a pairing I don't normally see together), Eastern Phoebes, and 2 species that I rarely encounter on the ground (Pine Siskins and Ruby-crowned Kinglets).
Also saw a Winter Wren foraging in downed timber.

Subject: [ia-bird] Cock Pheasants Jefferson County |
We used to see a lot of pheasants, then they dwindled. Now I see them more often. Never before was I privilege to witness a fight between the males, whether it was over territory or the hens I do not know. I watched them for about 25 minutes. First they faced off, then the chase began. Total chase was about 13 minutes and I would guess the distance covered was about 1-1/4 mile. It is a good thing it was shortly after sunrise today (Sunday) and it was snowing. No other vehicles about on gravel roads. I followed them north, then turned around and followed them south to an intersection where I thought I lost them. However, they were running down the middle of the road, headed west. I followed for ¼ mile, they went back east, through the field. I backed down the road. This process was repeated at least 3 times before they fought, then another brief chase and there was only one left. A couple of photos attached.
They moved the fight into the ditch, very close to my vehicle. I was shooting out the passenger window from the driver’s side and they were too close for good images. It was a fun experience anyway.

Riley Henry and I went out and checked the lakes around Black Hawk County
today. We first stopped at George Wyth State Park. There we got 15 Common
Loons--13 on GW Lake, 1 on Alice Wyth Lake, and 1 on Brinker Lake. There
were also many Eastern Phoebes, YRW's, Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers, an
Osprey, a lone Greater white-fronted Goose on Alice Wyth Lake, and 31
Hermit Thrush along the roads. Next we checked Big Woods Lake. There we got
2 COLO's and 19 Pelicans on the lake. After that, we checked Prairie Lakes
Park where we found 4 COLO's and a skein of 200 or so Snow Geese that
circled the lake. Finally, we went to Greenbelt Lake. There, we got 3
COLO's and a pair of Lesser Yellowlegs. One of the Common Loons at
Greenbelt Lake even sang while we watched it. That was a first for me! I'm
sure good birds will continue to be grounded on the lakes in the coming
days as the snow keeps coming in.

It's fun in the yard these days, the birds are with the calendar whether the

Yesterday I had my FOS Chipping Sparrow and a kinglet that was moving too
fast for me to see which kind (but I suspect Golden-crowned), and today FOS
Yellow-Rumped Warbler in my yard. Yellow-Bellied Sapsuckers and Fox
Sparrows continue, along with White-Throated and House Sparrows, Juncos,
House Finches, Goldfinches, Mourning Doves, Downies, Starlings, Crows,
Robins, Chickadees, an occasional Pine Siskin, Blue Jays, bajillions of

As in Iowa City, 4" of snow brought mobs of birds to the feeders this

White-throated Sparrow. We picked out a single Rusty and a single female
Yellow-throated Blackbird among the gobs of Redwings and grackles. Several

color. Sharpie only sped through once, so the birds really lingered. 34

Subject: [ia-bird] Hermit Thrushes galore - Ames |
Hi all,
While running errands around Ames today, as is relatively normal with these late spring snowstorms, I noticed numbers of Hermit Thrushes on sidewalks and roadsides and opted to cruise some residential neighborhoods to see how many I could tally. I blew my own expectations out of the water, in an approximate 8 mile track, I counted over 130 roadside Hermit Thrushes and over 200 Fox Sparrows. I even had a couple Eastern Phoebes. This reminded me a lot of chasing the Scott’s Oriole in Estherville back in 2008 where a light snow had dropped crazy numbers of Hermit Thrushes in town and at Fort Defiance State Park nearby that particular morning.
The feeders here at home are even busier than yesterday with 2-3” of fresh snow. 16 Fox Sparrows are my high count so far and a stunning Oregon Junco made an appearance so far today.

Hi All,
What a day to sit and look out the window. The feeders have been
unbelievably active and three birds that normally don't shpw up at
feeders have been there constantly....Yellow-throated Warbler, Yellow-
rumped Warbler, and Ruby-crowned Kinglet. Also many Purple Finches,
Chipping Sparrows, a Sapsucker, Pine Siskins, and all the normal
suspects. Cormorants and Pelicans and gulls on the river and numerous waterfowl
on the pond and river.
For birds this sure beats normal springtime weather.

the common loons this time, but the red breasted mergansers were still

Subject: [ia-bird] Ledges State Park - Boone Co |
I went over to Ledges for a few minutes this afternoon to get my birding
fix. I had a pretty good 90 mins. Yellow-rumped Warblers, Hermit Thrushes
(one singing in the woods), a Winter Wren popped out when I was playing
Hermit Thrush audio, two Vesper Sparrows (funny, because I missed them
entirely last year), lots of Ruby-crowned Kinglets, and one Golden-crowned
Kinglet. An Osprey was hanging out for some reason. I saw it perched at
two different places on the road. The only species I didn't see that I was
looking for was Fox Sparrow.

Subject: [ia-bird] Des Moines FOYs |
Hey IBIrders,
Karen and I found a window in the inclement weather for Harney's
afternoon walk by the Des Moines River. It was surprisingly birdy,
with FOYs (for me) CHIPPING and SWAMP SPARROWS, BROWN THRASHER,
AMERICAN COOT, and YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER. RUBY-CROWNED KINGLETS were
conspicuous, and a HERMIT THRUSH made an appearance, as did a small
squadron of AM WHITE PELICANS cruising overhead. The highlight of the
afternoon was a PEREGRINE FALCON making a bold pass upriver, then
skirting the ridge above us on the way back down the river, giving us
very nice looks. He (she?) was majestic.
Good Birding,
Stuart Sparkman

Subject: [ia-bird] IOU Spring Meeting INFO (not a sighting) |
Greeting from Sioux City,
The 2018 IOU Spring Meeting is approaching rather rapidly.
A couple of things to keep in mind--*There are deadlines for any special
rate accommodation (listed below)*
Stoney Creek--a rather fancy hotel that would be great for someone wishing
to celebrate a special occasion that weekend.
DEADLINE for special rate is April 18 (Wednesday)
Marina Inn--DEADLINE for special rate is April 28
New Victoria Inn and Suites--DEADLINE for special rate is May 1
Country Inn and Suites--DEADLINE for special rate is May 1
Dorm Rooms--BEST DEAL available DEADLINE for special rate is May 1
(only 11 rooms left) We are working to extend the deadline but I
would not count on it.
To register for any of the *accommodations* options, click on the BLUE
colored link.

would suggest registering early to both help the IOU and the caterers to
better prepare.

Subject: [ia-bird] Red-throated Loon at Grundy co. Lake |
This morning, I found an ad. RED-THROATED LOON in basic plumage on Grundy co. Lake. The bird took flight and made several laps around the lake giving me some good fly by looks. It eventually took off headed northwest. This was at 9:30 a.m. I waited around for a half hour or so hoping it would return, but it didn't. My dad just called and said it was there at 11:00 in the northwest corner of lake.
He said it was flying around as he arrived and then landed.
Good birding,

Subject: [ia-bird] Bird Migration |
Des Moines Audubon Program
Using Weather Radar to Monitor Bird Migration
Tuesday, April 17th, 7 p.m.
By Karl Jungbluth
Karl Jungbluth will demonstrate the use of weather radar to monitor
nocturnal bird migration. Karl has over 20 years of experience studying Iowa
birds, and his career with the National Weather Service gave him unique
insights into the techniques of tracking migrants. He’ll discuss how we can
augment our understanding of migration and improve our birding success by
interpreting bird signatures on spring or autumn weather radar. Karl will
place special emphasis on predicting “fallouts” of colorful migrants in
central Iowa.
Des Moines Audubon meetings begin at 7:00 p.m. and are held in the lunchroom
of the Northwest Community Center, which is located at 51st and Franklin
Avenue in Des Moines. If you have questions about the meeting place or the
program, please contact Jane Clark at 515-223-5047 or <jrclark...> .

How windy is it? I just had a Red-tailed Hawk blown into my front window.
This was not a head-on collision, but its inner wing scraped the window
before it swerved away and up over the top of the house. Nadia & I ran to
the back door and observed it fly briefly before it moved out of sight. (I
believe the hawk was going after a squirrel in the front yard before it got
caught in the breeze?)

I wanted to do some birding out of the wind today so I went to McFarland
Park in Ames and was rewarded with lots birds. On the ridge of the nature
trail looking down at the creek I saw both Kinglets and a couple of Myrtle
Warblers. Since I was above them I could see the color of their crowns.
Neat. All of them appeared to be eating insects on the surface of the
water. Food is hard to find with this weather. I also saw 2 Phoebes, 20+
Flickers, at least that many Fox Sparrows, a couple of Swamp Sparrows, a
dozen or so Hermit Thrushes, at least 100 Juncos, and 2 Brewer's
Blackbirds. In my yard this morning I saw 2 Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers.

Subject: [ia-bird] Rufous Hummingbird North of Galva,, Iowa |
Hi,
I got a message this morning of a Rufous Hummingbird at a friend's home North of Galva, Iowa. After seeing Lisa's photos, I headed up to Galva, Iowa to also, record this
wind-blowen Hummer. In route, I called Paul Roisen and knowing Paul, if he was anywhere near, he would head my way, also.
We both got images, during the really adverse weather conditions, of the male Rufous coming to a feeder. The first view is the feeder set-up, with a very limited area to record this bird. Here are a couple of images I made of this beautiful Hummer.
The home owner is willing to have visitors, only after contacting her by e-mail or text. The weather here is light rain and 30 to 40 m.p.h. winds, with thunderstorm and possible
3 to 5 inchs of snow during the day on Saturday. I will try and keep track, if the bird stays through this major winter storm headed this way.

Subject: [ia-bird] More FOYs |
My ornithology class had a great field trip yesterday on the hiking trails below the dam at Lake Red Rock. Had my first of the year Bonaparte's Gulls, Pectoral Sandpiper, and singing Field Sparrow. But we had great views of lots of birds. I love hearing students get excited by even the common things. The birds that drew the greatest reaction from my 12 kids were a super close look at a Ruby-crowned Kinglet with its red cap exposed, a drumming Downy Woodpecker, and Eastern Phoebes and a female Northern Cardinal carrying nesting material. It is nice to be reminded of how beautiful and amazing even the common birds are. Russ, Pella / Knoxville.

Subject: Re: [ia-bird] Mountain Bluebird - NO |
Bill and Chris, Very sorry to hear you missed the bird.
I last saw the Mountain Bluebird at 8:01. Arrived to the bird cavorting
on the road and occasionally sitting on one of the post on either side of
the road. Here is the rest of the story: Yesterday I spend about 2
hours looking for the bird from 5:00 to 6:50PM. Finally did a loop around
the area and came back around 7:10. The bird was on the east west fence on
the about 150 yards east of the road. During the time I was there I did
not see a single vehicle.
Today however. Just after I got four photos a PU truck came barreling
past me (seemed like 90mph but I am sure it was closer to 50 but did not
slow down or pause even though I had my camera up. The bird flew west of
the road about 200 yards an perched on the top of a tree. I waited quite
some time watching it and when I glanced around it was gone. I stayed
another 35 minutes during which 5 more vehicles came by all slowed down
expect one and one person stopped to find out what I was doing. Never saw
the bird again but I did tell the couple to keep an eye out for this
incredible bird. I think it is possible that it is still around. Hope
some more people for the Appanoose birding club try for it and report it
again. Great day to be out birding but I did notice that the ground and
the air down there was unbelievably DRY. Up here in Sioux City everything
is still soggy and moist (though it did dry out a lot today in preparation
for the impending SNOW predicted for Saturday.
Missed the Eared Grebe at Wapello but has FOY Brown Creeper, Golden-crowned
and Ruby-Crowned Kinglets along with Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs,
Pectoral Sandpiper and Wilson's Snipe in the county.
God Bless,

Subject: [ia-bird] Kish-Ke-Kosh and South Skunk River Wildlife Area |
Took a drive just north of Pella to a couple of my favorite areas:
Kish-Ke-Kosh Prairie and the South Skunk River WMA. Highlights from the
South Skunk River were 2 *Horned Larks* in adjacent farm fields, 3 *Hermit
Thrush* individuals in the woods surrounding the oxbow and what I believe
to be a *Swainson's Hawk* soaring overhead. Was wondering if anyone had
seen one in the same area. Also present were *Lesser Yellowlegs*, *Wilson's
Snipe*, a *Northern Harrier*, *Tree Swallows* and a pair of *Bald Eagles*
guarding a massive nest above the oxbow. (Several species of waterfowl also
present)
Kish-Ke-Kosh was fairly quiet aside from several *Eastern Meadowlarks *singing
nearby. The highlight from that location was one *LeConte's Sparrow*, who
first revealed itself when I was just three feet away. After some patience,
I finally located the bird running along the ground and was able to get
some good looks.
The weather was perfect!

The Mountain Bluebird in Davis County was a no-show for Bill Scheible and me
between 10:30 - 2:00 today.
Lake Wapello State Park provided a nice consolation prize with a beautiful
breeding-plumaged EARED GREBE, along with 50+ BONAPARTE'S GULLS, a pair of
slightly late COMMON GOLDENEYES, a COMMON LOON, and several more common
waterfowl species.
Our day's haul was enough to push the Davis County checklist on the IOU
website to 200 species, leaving only 5 forlorn counties below that
threshold.

This morning I did some birding at Ledges State Park, in Boone County, next
went to Swan Lake in Carroll Co., then finished up at Dunbar Slough WMA and
Squirrel Hollow CCB area in Greene Co. I ended up with 69 species, the
most I've been able to get in one day yet this year. Some of the best were:
Brewers Blackbirds--small flock of 12 at Oakwood Picnic area, Ledges S.P.
Dunlin (FOY)--one at Dunbar Slough
Vesper Sparrow (FOY)--two at Dunbar Slough
Golden-crowned Kinglet (FOY)--one at Squirrel Hollow CCB area
Carolina Wren--one at Squirrel Hollow CCB area
I checked all the ponds at the Casino at Jefferson but could not find the

Subject: [ia-bird] 3 of a Kind at Casino in Jefferson
Birders,
Among other waterfowl, all three species of teal were seen this evening around the small ponds around the Wild Rose Casino in Jefferson (Greene Co). The Cinnamon Teal was seen from Hwy 30 in the southwestern most pond. Guess I'm going to have to officially start a casino list!
Other birds of interest from this evening:
Purple Martin in my Jefferson neighborhood.
Dunbar Slough, pool viewed from 270th: increasing number of shorebirds, with Wilson's Snipe, Pectoral, both yellowlegs, and Baird's. Also 14 Great-tailed Grackle were in the pasture on the south side of 270th. Tree Swallows and Ruby-crowned Kinglet were seen near the eagle nest grove on B Ave.
Bird on!

I believe there is an American Black Duck x Mallard at the Discovery Pond. It is noticeably larger than a mallard, has a mallard head shape and color but a very dark chocolate brown body. I’ll post pictures when I get home.

Subject: [ia-bird] Bonaparte's Gulls at Anderson Lake |
I had another nice outing up to Wall Lake and Anderson Lake (east of
Jewell) this morning. On the way up HWY 69 I saw 6 Snipe in a wet
cornfield. Other than a large flock of Snow Geese at Little Wall, there
weren't many other ducks. The DNR was burning the prairie east of the lake.
At Anderson Lake there was again a very nice number of ducks that included
about 20 Canvasbacks, a Hooded Merganser male, and two dozen Ruddy Ducks
with their very bright blue bills. Over a thousand Snow Geese were still
there, but on the far west side which made it impossible for me to
determine if there were any Ross' Geese like before. As I was watching the
ducks, 8 White Pelicans and 7 Bonaparte's Gulls flew in. Hawk-wise I say a
Harrier and got a great look at a Rough-legged. Also saw my FOY Tree
Swallow.

Subject: RE: [ia-bird] Cinnamon Teal -Polk Co |
I agree with Paul. It is very helpful to know it was not seen (today, recently, whatever). It is also helpful when saying you saw a “bird at the same location as stated by someone yesterday” to repeat that location. Otherwise one has to go back through all the emails to find the one with that location listed.
Thanks in advance.

Among other waterfowl, all three species of teal were seen this evening around the small ponds around the Wild Rose Casino in Jefferson (Greene Co). The Cinnamon Teal was seen from Hwy 30 in the southwestern most pond. Guess I'm going to have to officially start a casino list!
Other birds of interest from this evening:
Purple Martin in my Jefferson neighborhood.
Dunbar Slough, pool viewed from 270th: increasing number of shorebirds, with Wilson's Snipe, Pectoral, both yellowlegs, and Baird's. Also 14 Great-tailed Grackle were in the pasture on the south side of 270th. Tree Swallows and Ruby-crowned Kinglet were seen near the eagle nest grove on B Ave.
Bird on!

There was a lot of activity at the burn area at the Southwest corner of the

AMERICAN PIPITS, AMERICAN GOLDEN PLOVER, and a couple of BREWERS
BLACKBIRDS. There were GREATER YELLOWLEGS and SNIPE on the edge of the

and these areas seem to be a magnet for birds. I could NOT locate the

Subject: [ia-bird] Boone Co. incredible blackbird flock |
When I opened our front windowshades at about 6:40 this morning, I saw a
gigantic flock of blackbirds beginning to fly northwest over Ogden. The
continuous overhead flight lasted for about 3 minutes. I tried estimating
some numbers within certain "chunks" of the flock but it was very
difficult, as some parts of the flock were extremely thick and nearly
uncountable. Nevertheless, my *conservative* estimate is a minimum of
100,000 birds, and it very well could have been *many* more than that.
I assume this flock had spent the night roosting at Harrier Marsh Wildlife
Area, just across US Hwy 30 from town. There are frequently massive
roosting flocks there in spring and fall migrations.

While finishing up some work in my yard this evening I paused for a bit to
count Woodcock peenting and was able to identify at least 7 individuals
displaying while stationary in my driveway. This is near College Creek,
west of the Southwest Athletics Complex. I also watched my FOY bat (species

Subject: [ia-bird] Yellow-throated Warbler |
This afternoon at Lacey Keosauqua I saw the previously reported (on Sunday)
Louisiana Waterthrush and a newly arrived Yellow-throated Warbler.
Neither were there on Friday when I was there. Last year the waterthrush
was there on the 28th of March. What a difference (weather).
Also an interesting sighting and I would call it a probable Fish Crow.
location: Lee County Rd x-23 .2 of a mile off US 61
Habitat: swamp woods
description: Two crows flew over the timbered wetland and landed in the
top of some trees 50 or so yards away. They seemed "smallish for crows"
and I had my I-pod recording handy and played the call. They both
responded and came to trees much closer. However, they did not vocally
respond as they were silent. I did get a good look at the overall size and
shape of the birds. The bill seemed very slender and the tail seemed longer
as did the wings when the birds got tired of me looking at them and flew
away. Everything seems right for a Fish Crow, but, I had no other birds to
compare them with.

Subject: [ia-bird] Hawkeye WMA-Sand Point & Swan Lake |
Hiked out to the end of *Sand Point* access today at *Hawkeye WMA*
(Johnson County) and did not see much in the way of shorebirds, however, I
did find a pair of *FRANKLIN'S GULLS* milling about with the Ring-billed
Gulls on the mudflats. The shorebird habitat is really ideal right now, so
hopefully that will bring them in when they start to pass through IA.
There were also a pair of *COMMON MERGANSERS* sleeping on a log on the
river.
In the fields on either side of the road/path a flock of *LAPLAND
LONGSPURS* flew back and forth the whole time I was walking. There may
have been other Longspur species mixed in, but they did not stay put for
very long! They seemed to prefer the field that had recently been disced.
At *Swan Lake*, what it lacked in diversity, it made up for with the
sheer number of *GADWALLS*! The little lake was packed with ~90% Gadwalls
(I estimated ~300), the 2nd most numerous being *AMERICAN WIGEON*, followed
by *AMERICAN COOTS*.
I also stopped at *Goose Lake* in North Liberty (Johnson County) and the
diversity was good, I think I had 25 species there. A male *RED-BREASTED
MERGANSER* was there, several *PIED-BILLED GREBES* along with a *FOX
SPARROW* and the usuals.

A mile north around 240th and L Ave a male Northern Harrier was working

Early yesterday evening there was a MOUNTAIN BLUEBIRD about 5 miles
southeast of Moulton on Buck Ave, halfway between 305th and 315th St. I
knew something was different how it matched the color of the sky. I had
read that Mountain Bluebirds are relatively unwary, so I pulled up right
along side it and snapped this photo.

Subject: [ia-bird] Short-eared Owl- Ida County |
Hi,
I was out with my camera and came across a Short-eared Owl hunting along 190th Street and Hwy. 59, NW of Ida Grove. It was flying along a grassy ditch and I got two in-flight images. It then landed on a fence post and allow me to park near by, for additional images.
This is the third location in Ida County where I have found Short-eared Owls, the first location was in SW Ida County, the second ons were south of Arthur Iowa and the one was in the NW part of Ida County.
It seems the population is really up here.

Subject: [ia-bird] Barred owl squaw creek park, Linn County, IA |
I got lucky seeing this owl, she gave me a clue last week when I spotted her tail feathers sticking out of the hollow last week! Went back today to capture this photo.
Also, many different species of waterfowl, including
Blue wing teal
Green wing teal
Pied bill Grebe
Ring Neck duck
Coots
Mallard
Canada Goose
I could not identify this bird. (There were two)... my best guess is common Snipe. Here is my description.
- sandpiper like, long straight bill, larger , nape of neck was buff colored, pale yellow legs ( but larger than a yellow leg), was pecking side to side in mud, and the back appeared to have stripes. Any suggestions appreciated.
Also,
Adult Osprey
Great Blue Heron
Male and Female Kestrel

Birders,
Late this afternoon while birding at Dunbar Slough, I noticed that the chisel-plowing of a nearby field attracted the attention of at least 35 buteos. At least 5 were Swainson's Hawks, and the rest Red-tailed. It was an amazing sight!
Bird on,

Subject: [ia-bird] Rusty Blackbirds Johnson Co |
We were checking out Ryerson's woods south of Iowa City for tomorrow's
wildflower and migrant hike, (a bust on those flowers) when in the woods we
came across a flock of 30 blackbirds with pale eyes. After eliminating
everything else, they must be Rusty Blackbirds. I took pictures of some
of them and they all had a white eye and some rusty feathers. Also saw two
Brown Creepers, a Cooper's hawk and a sad cold E. Pheobe.
I then stopped at Terry Trueblood and saw 3 loons and 4 Red breasted
mergansers.
On the way home I checked the south arm of lake McBride and saw the
loon-apalooza.

Subject: [ia-bird] Northern Goshawk and Red-breasted Nuthatch, Linn Co |
Hey all-
I popped out to check my maple syrup cooking down and stopped to listen to
a Red-breasted Nuthatch moving through, a first for our yard of two years.
That lead to another yard bird when an adult Northern Goshawk promptly shot
over the yard.
A very large accipiter, identifiable by its very large size, broad wings
(long secondaries), relatively long tail (ruling out buteos), bright and
long white undertail coverts, very finely barred breast of grey and white
(no rufous tones as in adult Cooper's, no striping as in a juvenile
accipiter), and from my angle a view of the dark hood coming down the side
of the head.
I had not expected to see one of these in Iowa any time soon...
Happy migration,
Jesse Ellis

There are currently 6 Common Loons in breeding plummage on the South Arm of Lake McBride. Additionally I have seen 3 Bonaparte's Gulls and at least 70 Red-breasted Mergansers.

Hello,
The pair of long-tailed ducks I reported on March 28th are still in the area. They moved to an area of open water on East Okoboji Lake near the Hiway 9 bridge located at the east end of the town of Spirit Lake.
What is exciting about this is the fact I found them while scoping the many scaup, goldeneyes, ringnecks, redheads and mergansers from the comfort of my living room.
I sure was excited when yard bird # 195 swam into view of my spotting scope!
Good Birdin’,

Hi all,
This morning we saw about 30 Smith's at the location reported by Aaron Brees yesterday. It was fun to share the siting with a gentleman from South Dakota who drove to Iowa looking specifically for Smith's and this was a life bird for him.

Hey Birders,
I was walking around Newell when i saw 3 red crossbills on the school

Subject: [ia-bird] Boone & Greene Co. birds |
I made a quick run from Ogden to Dunbar Slough this afternoon and found
three FOY shorebird species on the wetland at the corner of Co. Hwy. N58
and 270th Street:
Lesser Yellowlegs--11
Greater Yellowlegs--4
Wilson's Snipe--8
There were countless numbers of Green-winged Teal on every wetland in this
large wildlife complex. I observed 7 Northern Harriers between the
northernmost and southernmost tracts and had at least 9 American Kestrels
scattered along the power lines. The old Bald Eagle nest a mile east of
where the shorebirds were seen had an adult female perched on the edge,
looking down into the nest and cocking her head. I suspect she has recently
hatched young and was looking at them, Finally, there were *lots* of
singing Western Meadowlarks on the many pastured glacial hills southeast of
Dunbar.
Before heading to Dunbar, we had another Eastern Towhee in our yard, the
second this week, plus more Fox Sparrows.

Subject: [ia-bird] Short-eared Owls |
Last night while leaving Neal Smith NWR, I saw at least 3 SHORT-EARED OWLS.
Two were east of the bison enclosure and one was near the north end of the
Refuge. I later saw one hunting over the median of Hwy. 163, which may have
been the same bird. Another observer saw one near the visitor center, so
was likely a different bird.
I had a report of a Swainson’s Hawk over one of the burns at the Refuge
yesterday. I wasn’t able to see any through the smoke and without
binoculars. More burning is planned for today.

Subject: [ia-bird] Golden Eagle - Emmet Co. |
Around 11:20 AM today, I came upon an immature Golden Eagle eating a dead
bird on a small frozen marsh a bit west of the intersection of 210th St
(A33) and 200th St. This is just south of West Swan Lake. Upon turning
around to get a better look, the bird flushed south to the powerline about
a half mile away. After quite a bit of waiting, I finally got some poor but
diagnostic photos as it flew from the powerline and drifted south toward
Ingham Lake. I lost it behind the tree line, but it’s probably still in the
area.
I’ll post the photos on ebird later today.

Colder temps and 17 inches of snow last week have slowed the waterfowl migration down,
right here in North Iowa.
Checked five wetlands & marshes and Clear Lake, in Cerro Gordo County today. And all were
frozen over, opened only in a few areas. On the west end of Clear Lake was a raft of 330 ducks,
but too far out to identify. Otherwise everything was close to shore.
Along the open shoreline were: Redheads, Canvasbacks, all three species of Mergansers,
Buffleheads, Greater Scaup, Lesser Scaup, Ring-necked, Ruddies, Shovelers, Pintails, Gadwalls
Blue-winged Teal, Green-winged Teal, Trumpeter Swans, Great Blue Herons, Pelicans, Northern Harriers, 12 Bald Eagles chasing ducks.
Ring-billed Gulls were numerous around the lake.
22 species of waterfowl in the hundreds on Sunday & today.
And again tonite we are in a Winter Storm Warning for Northern Iowa.

A Common Loon in breeding plumage was on Casey Lake at Hickory Hills in
Tama County.
Lots of Ring-necked and Lesser Scaup. One female scaup looks like a greater
as she has the really heavy white marking behind her bill and a rounder
head than the lessers.
Other notable ducks today:
2 Common Goldeneye
3 Ruddy Ducks
10+ displaying Bufflehead males and a few females
A handful of Gadwall
4 Blue-winged Teal
1 female Canvasback
In addition, the Eastern Bluebirds were singing, a Pileated Woodpecker
vocalized twice; a Red-shouldered Hawk was calling. A Belted Kingfisher was
fishing and three Eastern Phoebes were observed.
Among the mammal life observed there was a skunk out during the afternoon
(about 2:30pm or so) it was in the Long-horned Cattle paddock foraging
around some fallen trees. There were also two muskrats swimming among the
ducks along the banks on Casey Lake and one White-tailed Deer.

Subject: [ia-bird] Pipits and more |
The snow brought many birds to the roadside in Green Bay bottoms in Lee
County. Many Lapland Longspurs and some Smith's Longspurs. Many, many Am.
Pipits and along with the numerous Killdeer were 3 Am. Golden Plovers
(basic plumage) standing in the middle of the road. Numerous Savannah
Sparrows and among the dozens of Red-wing Blackbirds were several Brewer's
Blackbirds. Also, a Short-eared Owl was perched on a post

That makes, at least, two of us… also my FOS. I had a male feeding on the red pine tree outside my bedroom window for about five hours this afternoon. A Red Breasted Nuthatch also visited the red pine briefly during this time.

Just saw my FOS Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker in a pine tree in my yard.
An on amateur note, I have seen a female Purple Finch several times at my feeders over the last week, easy enough to distinguish from the female House Finch. Yesterday for the first time I made my first confident ID of 2 males at the feeders. I’ve studied field guides and lots of photos and comparison notes, but this was the first time that the light bulb went off on my head. The bill, color, notched tail, and faint raspberry streaking underneath all make sense to me now. 😊

Subject: [ia-bird] Eastern Towhee & Yellow-rumped Warbler- Muscatine County |
I visited the nature center at Discovery Park in Muscatine (Muscatine
County)this afternoon with my family and extended family. Took a long hike
down in the ravine path that follows several small creeks, so we would be
out of the wind. Seems the birds had the same idea! Of course I did not
have my trusty camera or my favorite binoculars with and that's always when
you see lots of interesting birds :) My dad did have several pair of
binoculars handy so we had those at least.
I saw my *FOY EASTERN TOWHEE and YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER*. Pretty sure
there were multiple warblers with the one I got a good look at, however,
when with a group of non-birders who expect to hike when on a hike, I had
to keep pushing on rather than stop and study the birds!

Subject: [ia-bird] Linn County, Iowa, Squaw Creek Park |
While birding today I came across some "feathers" sticking out from a
hollow in a tree. Since it was so very windy, I thought maybe an owl might
be trying to rest in this hollow but couldn't pull all his feathers in!
Since I am a novice at feather id, I researched some images on the internet
and knowing barred and great horned owls frequent this park, I believe
these to be barred owl feathers. I didn't get a very good shot as I did not
want to disturb this bird. So, attached is the best picture I was able to
retrieve.
Hopefully, some of you may be able to view the picture enough to give me
your thoughts.
Good birding and have a Happy Easter.

Subject: [ia-bird] Volunteers needed for federal Breeding Bird Surveys (BBS) in Iowa |
*Get Involved!*
Each spring over 2500 skilled amateur birders and professional biologists
volunteer to participate in the North American BBS. We are always looking
for highly skilled birders to join the team. Meet some of the BBS crew and
see their routes at the photogallery
<https://www.pwrc.usgs.gov/bbs/bbsnews/photo_gallery/index.html>.
*Requirements for participation are:*
1. Access to suitable transportation to complete a survey.
2. Good hearing and eyesight.
3. The ability to identify all breeding birds in the area by sight and
sound. Knowledge of bird songs is extremely important, because most birds
counted on these surveys are singing males.
4. New BBS participants must also successfully complete the BBS
Methodology Training Program
<https://www.pwrc.usgs.gov/bbs/participate/training> before their data
will be used in any BBS analyses. The training program is available from
the national BBS offices and the state, provincial, and territorial
coordinators.
If you meet the first 3 criteria and would like to participate in the BBS,
please contact Iowa BBS Coordinator Doug Harr, at *<dnharr...>
<dnharr...>* , or the USGS national BBS office. You can explore our
network of routes and see which are currently vacant by viewing our route
location maps <https://www.pwrc.usgs.gov/bbs/RouteMap/Map.cfm>. Routes
currently vacant in Iowa and in need of BBS volunteers are as follows
(named after a nearby town or geographical feature):
- Williamsburg (Iowa Co.)
- Red Rock (Marion Co.)
- Hudson (Black Hawk Co.)
- Dinsdale (Tama Co.)
- Neola (Pottawattamie Co.)
- Washta (Cherokee Co.)
- Tipton (Cedar Co.)
Volunteers should be willing to commit to at least 3 years of conducting
surveys, in order for USGS to place your collected data into BBS permanent
records and evaluate species population changes.
Thanks for considering to become a BBS volunteer.

I did a little birding this morning before work. New arrivals for me at Hawkeye WMA (Johnson County) were GOLDEN-CROWNED KINGLET at Swan Lake Woods and TREE SWALLOWS at Greencastle Ave.
Yesterday I meandered the back roads from Cedar Rapids (Linn County) to Cone Marsh (Louisa County) looking for longspurs. Found two large flocks of LAPLAND LONGSPURS. One flock, with most of the males well along into their lovely breeding plumage, was very close to the road on the south side of the Eastern Iowa Airport in Linn County, and the other flock was in far southern Johnson County along Wapello Ave. SE just north of the Louisa County line. But I did not see nor hear Smith's Longspurs in either of these flocks.

Subject: [ia-bird] American Woodcocks in Johnston - at Merle Hay and I-80/35 |
Since I have been laid up and staying at the AmericInn in Johnston, I have been birding from the back patio, which overlooks part of the beaver creek greenbelt next to the interstate. On Tuesday evening at about 8, I had a rare moment of lessened traffic noise and distinctly heard two different peents.
Geese are common, I have heard and seen one kingfisher, many ducks (some pintails and many other species) and the occasional great blue heron.
I suspect if it was quiet, there are many more present.
Sorry for the late report.

Was down there on Wed.to see them. It's easy to spot them from the viewing
platform. The eBird link to Kellerton WMA will take you right to
it. https://ebird.org/hotspot/L1300448 We arrived just after 8am and
counted 24. They start wandering off though and about 30 minutes later
there were only 12-14 there. You can see them with binoculars easily but
bring a scope if you have one. The lek is out a bit and the birds are to
the east of the platform so you are looking into the sun if it's a nice
day.

Subject: [ia-bird] mostly Worth County |
A tour of Worth county confirmed movement of raptors. Also, many geese and
ducks in the bits of open water, waiting to go further north. Seen were:
5 geese species, including 3 Ross and many White-fronts.
75 swans at Silver Lake, probably 55 were Tundra. I don't remember seeing
that many Tundra inland before.
16 species of ducks, many at the open area of Rice Lake. A dozen pelicans.
7 N. Harrier, 5 Rough-legged, Cooper's, Sharpie and a number of eagles and
Red-tails. Kestrels.
2 Sandhill Cranes, west end Rice Lake, 3 just east of Pannicum Prairie, and
2 airborne.
1 N. Shrike, 1 Hermit Thrush, Brewer's Blackbirds and Meadowlarks along with
Red-winged and Grackles.
Fox and Song Sparrows singing away.
Turkey Vultures are back !
Despite the snow and cool winds, it was a good day to be out.

Subject: [ia-bird] American Woodcocks in Johnston |
Hi I-Birders,
Karen, Harney, and I made our annual late-March evening American
Woodcock foray tonight (Wednesday). We've done this for about 10 years now
and have only been shut out once (last year we picked an evening with
unfortunate weather.) Our site is Beaver Creek Greenbelt (Doc Brown Loop)
adjacent to Terra Park in Johnston (Polk County).
Tonight we had great results. We arrived just a couple minutes after
sunset, and almost immediately began hearing the peent noises the woodcocks
make on the ground. After a few minutes, one or two of them began making
short low altitude flights of 25 - 50 meters. One landed on the verge of
the path about 20 meters from us, and we got lengthy dim light looks at him
peenting, which were very satisfying. This was my best on-ground
observation of this species ever. After another few minutes the birds began
their sky displays in earnest, and we had some very nice views of this as
well. In total, we observed probably three different individuals, and
heard at least two additional birds a little further away. This area is
large enough and has enough woodcock habitat that there could be dozens of
birds displaying each evening. We stayed for about half an hour.
Also worth mentioning was a decent-sized bat foraging over the same
area. I had no idea they might be present this early in the year.
Good Birding,
Stuart Sparkman

Subject: [ia-bird] Re: Long-tailed Ducks in Dickinson county |
A friend and myself also observed the two Long-tailed Ducks at Isthmus
Park/E Okoboji. Also of note was a Red-shouldered Hawk observed on the NE
Spirit Lake edge/E end of Orleans.... Also seen was a flock of 30 American
White Pelicans flying north.

One eye kept to the sky from 2-5 this afternoon, I counted 8 Bald Eagles
migrating north in the Des Moines R valley (in one group), 36 Red-tailed
Hawks in small groups, 4 Sharpies, and 2 Cooper's Hawks. A single dark
Rough-legged Hawk hover-hunted nearby. Stunning views were provided by
bright sunshine reflected up from the continued widespread snow cover.

Good Morning Bird Patrol, I’ve received the following from Lee County

pishing, or playback, in county parks and preserves. Please note the
comments from those forwarding this change and also note that there are two
pdfs at the end of this message. The specific new regulation referred to is
#5.4 in the first pdf. Playback is already prohibited in many parks and
refuges such as Ding Darling.

Drove out to Cardinal Marsh today after seeing the previous report. Saw 36 sandhills(poor light for photos), and more ducks and geese than I've ever seen in one place. Easily over a thousand mallards and Canadas, and one large flock of white-fronted geese flew in with 5-6 snow geese tagging along. Was also able to identify 6 pintails and a few canvasbacks.

Subject: [ia-bird] Oddly colored robin |
This morning just after 8:00, I saw a robin-sized bird with many white
markings on the back along old Hwy 75, just south of 240th St, between
Sargent Bluff and Salix. There is a CRP field on the east side of the
highway but the bird spent more time on the west side by the RR tracks.
I did eventually see the brick red on the side of the chest. Behaviors
included both hopping around on the ground and perching low on the plum
thicket. There were both robins and red-winged blackbirds present.

Subject: [ia-bird] Poweshiek co birds |
Here is a feel good bird story. Last spring in April a local great-horned owl nest was blown out of the tree during a storm. A local citizen, Greg Stempian, knew of the nest and the youngster predicament. came to us, we found the young owl, built a nestbox and installed it about 15-18 ft. high near the old nest. Placing the youngster in the new box, the young owl was accepted by the adults luckily. It fledged about 3-4 weeks later, success! Well, Greg has been monitoring the nestbox this winter and spring. The owls once again claimed the box, laid at least 2 eggs and last week hatched 2 young! Greg will continue to watch the progress using a telescoping mirror we made. Surprising and wonderful!

Thank yo,

Subject: [ia-bird] Cardinal Marsh in Winneshiek County |
This afternoon a group led by Larry Reis saw 20 trumpeter Swans and 42 Sand hill Cranes at the marsh. Some of the cranes were dancing. There were also distant ducks and geese. Much ice remains, and we saw no shorebirds.

Subject: [ia-bird] Poweshiek co birds |
Sunday at the feeders had purple finches, a lone fox sparrow, eurasian collared-doves, red-headed woodpeckers and the regulars. At Rock Creek Lake had 300-500 ring-bill gulls, no geese other than a few Canadians, lesser scaup, bufflehead, mallards, American mergansers, green and blue-wing teal, and shovelers, and several red-breasted mergansers. At the pond NW of the lake had lots of lesser scaup, ringnecks, mallards, buffleheads, and about 10 redheads. Bob Van Ersvelde Grinnell

Subject: [ia-bird] Flyover Red Crossbills - Polk County |
Today I saw a group of about 8 Red Crossbills fly over at Walker Johnston
Park in Urbandale. I identified them by their "Jip Jip" calls. There is no
significant stand of conifers in that area, so I suspect they're just
random flyovers.
Earlier this morning, I saw a Baird's Sandpiper in a flooded low area near
the parking lot of South Prairie Elementary in Grimes.
Good birding,
John Bissell

Subject: [ia-bird] Short-eared Owls at Cedar Rapids Airport |
Tonight I tested the plowed and unplowed snow covered roads of the Eastern Iowa Airport area. At times it was like snowmobiling as most roads
had snow drifts which required some speed to get through. And there were snowmobiles out and about.
The highlight of the evening was 3 SHORT-EARED OWLS, flying at the very east end of the airport in the area of the tall grass. They were within
the airport's tall fence and one eventually perched on it. This was the first time this spring or winter that I've seen owls in this area.
