Hi,
Several people had great ideas about the very small bird nest Image that I posted as to its I.D. We finally agree that “MOST” likely it was a Red-eyed Vireo nest. See the wonderful work that Bruce Ehresman did to confirm the nest builders. Bruce notes are below. Thank you Bruce.

>> I've been thinking more about the nest photograph that you sent, and I'm now pretty confident that it was built by a vireo, probably Red-eyed Vireo. I've never seen a hummingbird nest that was constructed like this one, and they all have been lined with lichens on the outside. While I first considered the possibility that this might be a suspended hummingbird nest, after looking very closely at over 100 photographs of Ruby-throated Hummingbird nests and at the Iowa Wildlife Center's legal collection of 15-20 vireo nests, this particular nest almost certainly is that of a vireo. Your photograph is so good that it is easy to look at the nest-construction details. The inside diameter of a Red-eyed Vireo nest can be about 2" and the depth is about 2" too. A silver dollar measures 1 1/2" diameter, which is pretty similar.

Had a short but successful hour in the park yesterday afternoon. It was great to see birds moving in the park. I’ve been staying on the roads in the park because of all the downed trees.
Here are the highlights.
-American Widgeon, FOY
- Yellow Rumped Warbler , 2 males
- 3 Brown creeper
- Flicker
- Ruby Crowned Kinglet
- Field sparrow
- song sparrow
- Red bellied Woodpecker
- 6 pied bill grebe
- Many blue wing teal
- Great blue heron
- White breasted nuthatch
- and usual Canada goose, mallards, chickadees, wild turkey etc.
Was really fun to see the brown creepers, since so many of the trees are downed. Absent...wrens, bluebirds, other woodpeckers.
Good birding all!

Subject: [ia-bird] Saylorville Rusty |
Hey I-Birders,
Karen and Harney and I walked around Cottonwood RA below Saylorville
Dam (Polk Co.) this morning. Among the expected bird sightings we were
excited to encounter a solitary RUSTY BLACKBIRD in a tree on the
fisherman's loop. It squeaked and squawked like a rusty hinge and posed
nicely for our observation. We also spent a few entertaining minutes
watching about a dozen DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANTS actively fishing in the
Des Moines River among a couple of AMERICAN WHITE PELICANS. This species
is common enough around here during parts of the year, but I seldom have
had the opportunity to observe them fishing. The cormorants showed
themselves to be peak fish predators, appearing to have close to 100%
success on their dives. They would emerge from the water with a wriggling
silver fish in their bill, point their bill toward the sky, gobble it down,
and go back for another. It was a magical birding moment.
Good Birding,
Stuart Sparkman

After several slow bird activity days, things picked up in the backyard
today with at least three Harris's Sparrows, Fox Sparrow, White-throated
Sparrows, Carolina Wren and surprisingly, a few male Purple Finches and one
female. Two weeks ago I thought the Harris's Sparrows had left but there
were one or two around most days last week.

More goodies today: Ruby-crowned Kinglets in several areas, at least 2
Blue-gray Gnatcatchers, more Yellow-rumped Warblers, Song Sparrow. Mallards
flew overhead and then a pair of Wood Ducks.
A little later in my yard (3 blocks away) a pair of Hermit Thrushes were
foraging in the gardens along with Dark-Eyed Juncos, then joined by a Fox
Sparrow, then a fledgling White-throated Sparrow. Yesterday I had a
fledgling American Goldfinch at a feeder with its mother.

Subject: RE: [ia-bird] Very small hanging bird nest. |
After I sent the photo of the Warbling Vireo nest, I looked them up on Cornell Lab and a WAVI is: “The nest is about 3 inches across and 2 to 3 inches deep, with an inner cup about 2 inches across and 1.5 inches deep.”
So, I guess it can’t be a Warbling Vireo nest if it is only 1 inch long. I did think they were very similar in appearance.
Sorry.

Hi Don,
I monitored grassland bird nests in MO last summer, and this one reminds me a lot of the Bell's vireos nests we encountered. The height and substrate of your nest doesn't look right for BEVI, but if it's last year's nest I am inclined to believe it was built by a vireo.
Hope that helps!

The south end of the Jester Park mudflats at Saylorville was loaded with
birds today. Best birds were 9 Avocet, 6 LB Dowitcher, probably 200 Pecs,
4 semi Plovers, 25 Bonaparte's Gulls, and an estimated 650 GW Teal and 575
Shovelers. They can be viewed from the road into the Big Creek spillway on
the east side, but that is a long view and much better views are from the
west shore, although it requires about a mile walk along the shore. The
southern flats are now about a mile south of the Jester boat ramp and
parking.

Birding wooded areas near Boone this morning I managed three new FOY
species:
*Ruby-crowned Kinglet--*2 at Ledges SP
*Yellow-rumped Warbler--*1 at Ledges SP
*Eastern Towhee--*2 at Saylorville WMA south of Boone Landfill
Later, driving down McHose Drive, a gravel road along the creek that goes
through McHose Park in the city of Boone, I saw a large tree cavity in the
distance and thought that would sure be a great owl nesting place. As I
drove past it, there was a Great Horned Owl facing out into the sun. I've
seen about 3 in tree-top nests this spring, but this is the first I've seen
in a tree cavity this year, perfect for photos from the car window!

Brandon is correct. The Warbler Walks which are organized through the Iowa City Bird Club will not take place. However, I will be compiling the lists of birds seen at Hickory Hill Park for those who individually bird there during May and the last week in April. It is likely that there will be folks who will continue to bird there on their own at the usual meeting times but they will not be representing the Iowa City Bird Club and anyone one who chooses to join them will be doing so at their own risk.

Two cranes circled and called as the sun set. In the north facing field
just east of the property there were 7 trumpeters. All manner of waterfowl

I believe the Warbler Walks are not happening this year due to ongoing

Anyone can correct me if I’m wrong.

Subject: [ia-bird] IOU Big Weekend May 1-2 |
We're offering a rerun of the IOU Big Weekend on May 1-2. Unfortunately it
comes at the expense of the Spring Meeting originally planned for that
weekend. I really, really hope we can offer a more traditional IOU meeting
next fall.
The May event will work like the event we did last September. The goal is
to record as many species as we can throughout the state those two days.
Ann Johnson has added a May 1-2 option to IOU Special Counts
<https://iowabirds.org/Birds/SpecialCounts.aspx>
https://iowabirds.org/Birds/SpecialCounts.aspx . Again, this will work like
the existing County Checklists page. IOU members can log in and enter
species seen in each county. A running total will be kept so you can track
where we stand. It would be nice to cover as much of the state as possible.
Tom Dougherty has created a link to the Google Drive for
<mailto:<Iowabirds...> <Iowabirds...> that lets folks sign up for
a county to cover. Google Drive should automatically save the document once
somebody enters their name. All members have edit privileges.
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1g0aXZ2M6zA2_lOe9bM3ooQUHtlAmZwUlMdM
COyLZljA/edit?usp=sharing>
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1g0aXZ2M6zA2_lOe9bM3ooQUHtlAmZwUlMdMC
OyLZljA/edit?usp=sharing.
We visited 80 counties in September so hopefully we can top that this time.
Tom checked eBird for what was seen in Iowa last year the first few days of
May and it looks like 225 species would be a good target. So plan to do
some safe birding that weekend and let's see what we find!

Subject: [ia-bird] Yellow-bellied Sapsucker Day 10- south of Boone |
Ever since we first noticed him on April 8th, a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker
has been working his sap wells in an old fir tree in our yard. 10 days,
and he hardly leaves the spot! The "wells" have gotten quite large on two
sides of the tree. Ive attached a few decent picturees.
This sapsucker is a strict enforcer of social distancing. The old tree is
a favorite bird perch and woodpecker hangout. If any woodpecker gets
within 6-8 feet, the sapsucker chases them off. It has been really fun to
watch as he waits for favorable migration weather, I'd guess. Usually we
only see a sapsucker for a day or two.
In addition, we have a nice handful of Harris' Sparrows, and Juncos, plus a
couple of Field and Chipping Sparrows have shown up. We are back up to a
few dozen siskins and goldfinches after they cleared out during the warm
spell.

A day late reporting, but maybe it's worth noting.
Yesterday in Hickory Hill Park, Iowa City, I had Hermit Thrush (2),
Golden-crowned Kinglet (at least 2), Yellow-rumped Warblers (at least 3),
Chipping Sparrows, Barred Owls (at least 2, no doubt residents),
Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker, Northern Flicker (has been around for a few
weeks), Eastern Phoebe (all over the place), and others. The trees are
starting to leaf out already, so the warbler walks that are slated to begin
in a couple of weeks will start at a disadvantage for those of us peering

Two days ago I birded Sunderbruch Park in west Davenport. Nothing especially noteworthy but the weather was perfect and I got several FOYs:
Eastern Phoebe - pair at the pedestrian bridge where they nest every year
Ruby-crowned Kinglet - 7
Eastern Bluebird - 3 pair at bluebird houses scattered throughout the park
Field Sparrow - 6
Wood Duck - pair zipping over the woods
Chipping Sparrow - 1

Today there were two Swainson's Hawks at a burn in Hancock county at 170th

There were two Horned Grebes in Clear Lake near the curve east of the
Baptist Camp, and some Loons but boaters made it hard to say other than
Common.
Numbers of ducks are still pretty good around the area. Lots of pelicans,
too. A few Great Egrets, Blue Herons on nests, and a few shorebirds around.
Waiting for more to come in.

Subject: [ia-bird] Polk Hermit Thrush, etc |
Hi I-Birders,
Karen and Harney and I logged our FOY HERMIT THRUSH along the Des
Moines River in NW Des Moines this morning. Other migrants present were
RUBY-CROWNED KINGLET, YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER, SWAMP and LINCOLN'S SPARROWS.
Later in the morning I found an assortment of ducks and five LESSER
YELLOWLEGS in the ponds at Bob Shetler Rec Area below Saylorville Dam.
Among the duck flocks (mostly NORTHERN SHOVELERS) viewed from the dam were
a few dozen BONAPARTE'S GULLS. On the way home I stopped near Tank Park
above Camp Dodge near the west end of the dam. There is a communication
tower there and I saw 3 adult OSPREY flying around the old nest on this
tower. This was a FOY for me and the presence of three birds brought up
some questions in my mind.
Good Birding,
Stuart Sparkman

Subject: [ia-bird] Swainson's Hawks Van Buren County |
The day started out with me taking Therese Cummiskey with me to Lacey Keosauqua to find a possible nest hole of Pileated Woodpeckers. She and Gay Chapman had seen one at this tree last week, but weren’t sure if they were using it or just checking it out. We found it and they are using it. While I was waiting for him to come out of the nest, Brandon Caswell came by and said there were Swainson’s Hawks over where the DNR was burning.
Needless to say, we went there and saw 6 Swainson’s for sure, but there may have been more. Attached are a couple photos.
Thanks Brandon! We were so focused on small birds, we may or may not have gone to check out the burn area. And sorry about your flat tire.
Sometimes our birding excursions don’t follow the original intent.

Took my daughter out bike riding and birdwatching right around town after school tonight, in the pasture on the south edge of town, right on the edge of city limits we spotted a pair of sandhills-very tolerant of us stopping to watch. They walked around feeding for a few minutes and we even saw them mating, we sat in the ditch and watched them with binoculars for half an hour. Had some brief excitement when my daughter thought she saw a band on one of their legs but that was a false alarm. Nice evening to be outside, for sure!

Subject: [ia-bird] SE IA today |
Birders,
An impromptu visit to Cone Marsh led to an even more impromptu visit to SE
Iowa.
Highlights in SE Iowa (Lee and Van Buren Co’s), mostly Chuck Fuller
repeats...
Argyle junkyard: Bewick’s Wren was singing upon arrival and did so the
entire stay, it did show for a bit; N. Rough-winged Swallow
Croton Unit: Louisiana Waterthrush (several), E. Towhee, Pileated
Woodpecker, Winter Wren
Farmington Unit (Coal Mine Hollow Dr): I got out of my vehicle and within
seconds saw Pine Warbler “chick making”
Lake Sugema (the lake of many pronunciations): several Swainson’s Hawks
working a large, active prairie burn on the NW side, the “Henslow’s fields”
as some know it...crippling looks at a couple hawks perched close to the
road...bonus Red-shouldered Hawk on the way to L-K State Park
Ely Ford: I seemed to be firing on all birding cylinders when alas, 2 hours
to manage a flat tire that happened as I crossed the stone
bridge...although I got to listen to Yellow-throated Warbler, Blue-gray
Gnatcatcher, and N. Parula for the duration, Pileated Woodpeckers
11 FOYs (142 for the year) and 73 species today (target birding to
boot)...also to note...Chipping Sparrows were everywhere down there and B.
Thrashers were prevalent as well
Good birding,
Brandon Caswell

I have had quite a few requests as to where McHugh Wetlands are located.
They are five miles South of Stanhope, IA and two miles West of Highway 17
across the road from Masterson Marsh and run a mile SW. I visited with Jim
McHugh again yesterday evening and told him how important along with how
much his wetlands were appreciated! I told him they are recognized on eBird
a worldwide birding community as McHugh Wetlands since we first visited
four years ago and I couldn't find a designation for the Boone County
wetlands. Jim was very pleased and always expresses his enthusiasm for
seeing the wildlife and people like myself enjoying the area.

Subject: [ia-bird] Swainson's Hawks in Boone Co.--Message #2 |
I spent a lot of time watching the huge prescribed burn at Harrier Marsh
WMA today and tried to get a lot of *Swainson's Hawk* photos (2 are
attached). I ended up counting at least 15 SWHAs (FOY) there, 3 *Red-tailed
Hawks*, 2 *Broad-winged Hawks* (FOY), 2 *Turkey Vultures*, 1 *Northern
Harrier* and 2 *American Kestrels* (one carrying a snake it caught after
the burn).
I also drove up to Bjorkboda Marsh, where I had 2 flocks of *Greater
Yellowlegs* (FOY), 1 *Ross's Goose* (FOY) and 1 *Vesper Sparrow* (FOW),
plus a big variety of other waterfowl (but no Long-tailed Duck). Hamilton
County Conservation was also burning prairie north of Bjorkboda, where I
saw 3 more Swainson's Hawks circling the area there.
This was a cold & breezy but great birding day, bringing my 2021 Iowa list
to an even 100 species. It was just a fantastic day to see *so many*
Swainson's Hawks!

Good report, Doug.
I feel certain that strong westerly and north westerly winds in recent days has brought Iowa the influx of Swainson’s Hawks. And they really like to hunt near where burning takes place. Several years ago, early on a very foggy morning, I counted 74 Swainson’s Hawks a few miles west of Spencer. Maybe 95% were on the ground or perched on short fence posts, making me think they probably roosted where I counted them.

Subject: [ia-bird] Swainson’s Hawk in Linn Co. |
On the way to pick up my daughter at daycare I saw a SWAINSON’S HAWK along
Highway 13, just southeast of Wanatee Park, near Marion. I was luckily able
to pull over and get some photos. I initially saw the bird backlit and
hover hunting. I figured it was either a Red-Tailed or late Rough-legged,
but after it banked I was like, “BINGO”!
Not sure what’s going on, but this is the second year in a row with
multiple SWHA reports in the Eastern Iowa corridor. Perhaps they have had a
more eastward-directed spring migration as of late? Maybe they are coming
through every year in small numbers with a small window of time and are
missed? Something to ponder.
Good birding,

Today, it was surprising when I scoped a male HUDSONIAN GODWIT from the end of James Avenue. It was in the company of a few Greater Yellowlegs
on the very large mud flat below. But that pretty much was it for my shorebirding as whitecaps started to cover the waters.
But the wind wasn't bad for raptor sightings as a light-morph SWAINSON'S HAWK crossed my path near Round Pond while driving east. It had little
choice but to go with the wind and quickly was out of sight.
Also, while walking the refuge boundary east of Sand Point Access I happened upon Brandon's Cinnamon Teal hybrid in waters to the north. Looks
like it will be around as long as the other teal are, and there are a lot of them.

Thank you all!
Thank you so much to Ruby for the great way she put it all together!
I try to speak up about climate change any time I have a platform. I encourage you all to do the same. The best thing you can do is simply say to your neighbor, “Hey, what do you think about climate change?” Then give your personal reason why you are concerned about it; birds, etc., etc. That will get the wheels turning.

drive, if you have the time. I would contact them first, if you're
interested in something in particular, to see if they have it on hand.
Might send them a note and tell them what specifics you're looking for
and price range. They'd likely have suggestions.

Hi Diane,
Vortex has a lifetime unconditional warranty....and they honor it with
smiles. They just replaced my ocular. I dropped a Nikon scope, which used
to have the same warranty. Nikon replaced the scope without question, but I
see that they no longer have that warranty. I have the top of the line
Vortex, but it will not compare to the ones that cost $2,000 - 4000.

Subject: [ia-bird] Polk Gnatcatcher |
Hey I-Birders,
Karen, Harney, and I made a loop through Beaver Creek Greenbelt this
morning in Johnston (Polk Co.). We were surprised to find a very early
BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHER in the forest, less than a week after the earliest
record date (April 4). Also spotted was our FOY CHIPPING SPARROW. A
couple of SWAMP SPARROWS were hanging out near Beaver Creek.
At one interesting moment on our walk we saw several birds foraging on
the path ahead. There was a bright red NORTHERN CARDINAL, a bright blue
EASTERN BLUEBIRD, a bright yellow AMERICAN GOLDFINCH, and a WHITE-BREASTED
NUTHATCH all with a few feet of each other on the ground. It struck us as
a set of “pretty” birds one might see on a Christmas card together and
think “These bird species would never be this close to one another at the
same time.” Always something interesting with birds.
Good Birding,
Stuart Sparkman

Hello birders!
Today, I was happily videoing a cooperative Sandhill Crane with my cell phone, when lo and behold an Ibis flew into view!!! I was able to grab my camera too, but the light was very poor. Brandon Caswell was able to re-find it later and confirm that it was a White-faced! Apparently, it’s the third earliest record. Fun!!!
Happy birding!!

Nice photo by a friend of Ed Lins. This Red-tail looks very much like the bird that was seen over a number of years in northern Winneshiek Co. near border with Minnesota. That individual was trapped and banded by the late and wonderful Bob Anderson of the Raptor Resource Project. I was fortunate to get good looks at that bird, and it was startling to see flying in bright sunlight.

Green-Winged Teal in many places. We had a Sandhill Crane fly over at
Hawkeye WMA, viewed from the north side west of the headquarters area. We
also saw a large number of Greater White-fronted Geese at the High Amana
Wetlands. There were a lot of shorebirds near the headquarters area but we
were losing light and didn't have a tripod with us for the scope so ID was
challenging.

Can anyone provide things to look for or to avoid?

Like Ty said yesterday, most of the ducks have moved on. There's still
a few of each floating around, though. This morning, we watched a pair
of Wilson's Snipe very close to the road (15'?) at the north end of the
large pond on the west side and then a lone one farther out at the south
end. It was worth a trip down the road.

The Eurasian wigeon wasn't observed this morning. There was only a single

recently right afternoon there are no real obvious changes in presents at

they'd see me sizeable contingent Wigeons but nothing conclusive as to any

Subject: [ia-bird] Beaver Bottoms Wetland Waterfowl |
We lost about half our waterfowl between Sunday and Monday, but there were still enough birds yesterday morning to make it interesting, and I’ve attached a few photos. Last summer’s drought allowed shoreline sedges and other plants to advance into the dry ponds a few feet, creating ideal feeding conditions this spring, when ponds refilled, albeit at a lower level. Consequently an exceptional number of waterfowl hung around through last weekend. Although large numbers of BW still Teal persist, I’m sure most waterfowl rode the friendly south winds and are now in Minnesota or the Dakotas.
Beaver Bottoms Wetland is private Wetland located approximately 1 mile south of Granger, across the Beaver Creek Bridge and along the west side of Xavier Rd.

Hey I-Birders,
Harney and I walked a loop of the Beaver Creek Greenbelt Trail adjacent
to Terra Park in Johnston (Polk Co.) this morning. I was astonished to
encounter a SOLITARY SANDPIPER along Beaver Creek in the wooded portion of
the trail. I was able to observe the bird for about 10 minutes as it
foraged at the water's edge. I have never seen a SOSA at this location
before, but migration doesn't care about one's expectations! According to
the IOU website, this is the third earliest spring Iowa record for this
species, the earliest being April 4.
It was a lovely morning to be out, and though we did not see many
sparrows, we had singles of FIELD SPARROW and SWAMP SPARROW, and there were
still a couple of vocal HARRIS'S SPARROWS not far from the parking lot. A
FOY for the year was a chatty RUBY-CROWNED KINGLET. On the home front, a
CAROLINA WREN is singing merrily behind the house, and a couple of EASTERN
PHOEBES seem to be eyeing the back of our garage, a place phoebes have
nested before. Fingers are crossed.
For fans of non-avian critters, I thought I'd mention that Karen and I
were out at Rock Creek State Park (Jasper Co.) on Sunday and while scoping
some COMMON LOONS I spotted a River Otter in the water. This is the second
otter I've seen in a month's time- surprising!
Good Birding,

I’ve been observing the bird for about half an hour and have taken lots of
photos. I think the potential for Northern Shoveler x Cinnamon Teal or that
hybrid back-crossed with pure Cinnamon Teal is on the table.
The bill seems heavy, the green in the head seems excessive, and the
scapular stripes on the back are solid white, more reminiscent of a
shoveler. Although not a game-changer, it’s been courting a female shoveler
the entire time.

Subject: [ia-bird] Cinnamon Teal, Wagner Wetlands |
Cinnamon teal x shoveler is an interesting thought. The bird is hanging
with a small flock of shovelers. The bill on cinnamon teal is usually
between that of blue-winged teal and shoveler in size and shape. One thing
I see in the picture, which was not apparent in the postures that I was
able to observe through the scope, is the pale area near the rump. That
might also suggest some shoveler heritage?

I checked out the bird recently reported by Wendy VanDeWalle at the
wetlands at the intersection of Wagner Rd. and Dunkerton Rd. just north of
Waterloo. It looks to me like a typical adult male Cinnamon Teal in
breeding plumage. In the bright sunlight, there is a greenish iridescence

cinnamon in color from other angles. I tried to do some internet research

Subject: [ia-bird] Thrush at Swan Pond HWA |
I was very delighted to see a thrush today (April 4) at Swan Lake. It
emerged at the edge of the field next to the road into the parking lot. My
birding partner got longer looks than I did. I saw the back well which was
a uniform reddish brown color. My companion saw a white throat but not the
bird's chest or face. It definitely wasn't a Hermit, Gray-cheeked or
Swainson's. I have seen/heard Wood Thrushes in this area in the fall. Could
it have been here this early? Though smaller than a robin, it seemed larger
than a Veery to me. Sadly, I did not hear it singing.
I'd like to report it to eBird but am hesitant without being more certain
about the identification.

Spotted two trumpeters in the pond along Highway 18, mile marker 200(between Rockford and Rudd) on the north side of the road this afternoon, both had neck collars. I was able to pull over on the gravel and get a look through binoculars but couldn't make out the collar numbers due to position of the sun.
The pond is both private and posted, so looking from the road was the best I could do. Maybe someone else can get a look at the numbers at a better time of day.

Although I didn't find some things I thought likely, I did end up with 3
new FOY species: 3 *Fox Sparrows* (at Lemmon WMA south of Panora), 1 *Savanna
Sparrow *(near NE corner of Bays Branch Wildlife Area), and 6 *Great-tailed

Subject: [ia-bird] Big Creek Possible LBBG |
Hey I-birders,
Karen, Harney, and I visited Big Creek SP ( northern Polk Co.) this morning
and had a windy walk. Of interest was a distant solitary gull on the water
about even with the jetty at the north end. We had a scope view and
noticed immediately an unusually dark mantle, a largish bill, and a robust
rather than delicate body shape. It was too distant to see details of the
eye. The bill had an obvious mark, though I couldn’t see its color. We
saw the bird through a scope briefly, then it flew south, rather high,
along the western shore of the lake. I viewed it in flight through the
scope and could see a lot of black on the outer third of the wings from
below, including the trailing edge. We did not locate it later. I believe
this was a LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL, and suggest people at Big Creek and
Saylorville this weekend keep an eye out for it.
Also seen was a couple of COMMON LOONS flying over the lake, a FOY
VESPER SPARROW around the marina parking lot, and several TREE SWALLOWS.
As we walked through a wooded area we had an enchanting encounter with a
pair of GOLDEN-CROWNED KINGLETS as well as a fussy pair of COOPER’S HAWKS
who were acting like they had a nest nearby.
Good Birding

Birders,
While out looking for Garganey and Cinnamon Teal at Hawkeye WMA I stumbled
into a Blue-winged Teal x Cinnamon Teal. Having seen four breeding plumage
Cinnamon Teal in Johnson County already, the hybrid seemed like an even
better find. I seem to not have an affinity for finding duck hybrids, only
ever finding Mallard x American Black Duck, so this was a peasant surprise.
The duck is on the pond just north of the Swan Lake parking lot, which is
along Amana Road on the northeast corner of Swan Lake, Hawkeye WMA. Hike a
few minutes north on the access road out to Sand Point (north) and before
the habitat opens into ag fields the pond is on the right side.
Good birding,

This evening I checked Maffitt Reservoir for previously reported loons.
When I arrived just before 6 p.m., I could see one several hundred yards out
from the dam. When I came back to the dam pull-out at 6:15, there were two
Common Loons in breeding plumage at closer range, sometimes as close as 20
yards from the dam. One loon had caught what appeared to be a crayfish.
There was no other waterfowl activity besides a couple of CANGs.

Subject: [ia-bird] Cedar Lake action update |
Hello all.
Please see my previous post first if you haven’t.
I have gotten more information and it sounds like the clearing of the trees on the north side of Cedar Lake is pretty much done. That’s good news, unless of course they did a bunch more over the last two days.
So I hope you will speak up about the boardwalk and the increased boat traffic.
One of the things that I’ve thought of since, is that the purpose of a boardwalk is to get close to the lake. That is already pretty much already accomplished there since a lot of the trail is right next to shore. I don’t think there is any more to gain and you would lose the migrating ducks and loons.
Sincerely,
Wendy VanDeWalle

Subject: [ia-bird] Field and Harris's- Polk |
Hey I-Birders,
Karen and Harney and I had a breezy walk this morning nearly devoid of
birds at Terra Park in Johnston. As we returned to the parking area our
fortunes changed. We heard a singing HARRIS'S SPARROW and, investigating a
brushy area nearby we found a party of four of these handsome singers. A
quick pish later a FIELD SPARROW had popped up near them and given us a
great look and our FOY of the day.
Good Birding,

Having been in Des Moines this morning Joanne and I took lunch to Cherry
Glen where the wind was atrocious. On the way home I took the opportunity
to see if any of the Ospreys had returned at Big Creek SP, Polk Co. To my
surprise there sat one on a dead tree eating a large Shad. 3/29/2021 I hope
they do better with their nest building on the communication tower than
last year.

Subject: [ia-bird] Fish Crow continues, etc |
Hey I-Birders,
Karen, Harney, and I started the morning with a walk through Terra Park
in Johnston (Polk Co.). Betrayed by their song, we found four beautiful
HARRIS'S SPARROWS in the trees behind the help-yourself mulch pile near the
entrance. Further along, our FOY SWAMP SPARROWS made an appearance, as
well as our first *female *RED-WINGED BLACKBIRDS of the year.
Afterwards, Harney and I continued with a survey of Saylorville
Reservoir sites. At Polk City Wildlife Area and the north end of Big Creek
Lake were a few duck flocks including LESSER SCAUP, RING-NECKED DUCK,
GADWALL, MALLARD, AMERICAN WIGEON, BUFFLEHEAD, BLUE-WINGED and GREEN-WINGED
TEAL, and the merganser triple crown. The latter site produced my
FOY COMMON LOON in beautiful breeding plumage just off the fishing jetty.
Heading back south, I stopped at Sandpiper Rec Area, just north of the
marina. I had ducks on my mind, none of which were visible from there. As
I was heading out, I stopped my car near a brushy area that often has
sparrows. Over the car engine I heard the FISH CROW (which I had
completely forgotten had been reported here), so I backtracked and
approached the bird, who was in the trees between the parking lot and the
lake, ultimately getting decent looks and an excellent recital from this
avian performer. Our last stop was Oak Grove beach, from where we saw
about 30 TREE SWALLOWS swarming over the water near the marina entrance. I
can report that a sizable naval unit of AMERICAN COOTS has arrived at the
reservoir, another FOY for me. In all, a great early spring morning out
for us with some nice bird sightings.
Good Birding,
Stuart Sparkman

Ring-billed Gulls number in the thousands but if you look hard enough there are still a few large white-headed to be found mixed in. Today I scoped a surprising 5 LESSER-BLACKED GULLS. Scales Pointe and area yielded 3 adults plus a 1st-winter while Hawkeye WA had one
adult, I scoped from the Hwy. 965 bridge. This looks like yet another British invasion of sorts!

Hey I-Birders,
Karen, Harney, and I took a rainy walk along the Des Moines River in
NW Des Moines this morning, and were rewarded with a few 2021 firsts. We
encountered three EASTERN KINGBIRDS, and enjoyed their delightful sneezy
calls. A single DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANT flew upriver towards Saylorville
Dam. Near the large pond adjacent to Tai Village we were happy to listen
to a performance of boreal chorus frogs. On the pond itself was a lonely
looking PIED-BILLED GREBE, yet another FOY for us.
The biggest highlight of the morning was a mammal. As we passed the
pond on our return trip I heard something splash in the water. This was
right at the terminus of an animal trail on which I've seen a beaver a
couple of times, and I expected to see the nose and tail of a beaver or
muskrat cruising away from us across the water. But instead, we saw a head
and neck emerge from the surface and a little whiskery face staring back at
us. I've walked this trail over 100 times a year for over ten years and
had never before seen a river otter here, or anywhere at all near
Saylorville Lake at all for that matter. But there he (she?) was in his
riparian glory. After a few moments he had had enough of the sight of us
and submerged. We stuck around a bit to see if we could see the otter
climb out of the water, but the critter waited us out below or snuck out
unobserved and we had to depart. Still, combined with the avian FOYS, the
otter was a lovely surprise for a dreary morning. Spring is truly here.
Good Birding,
Stuart Sparkman

Subject: [ia-bird] Hooded Merganser and others |
Yesterday afternoon while working I was driving over the Lake Panorama
dredge pond on the NW side of the lake and as I was driving over silt basin
pond dam there was a pretty male Hooded Merganser with 2 females swimming
next to the road. Also, there was many ring necked ducks and others I
couldn't id from the road while driving.
