Hi Birders,
It was fun to wake up to a dusting of snow in Ames this morning. To add to
the winter feeling, while out and about in Story County today I saw my FOS
Rough-legged Hawk (a beautiful dark morph) and a flyover flock of 42
Trumpeter Swans.
I also saw two lingering Yellow-rumped Warblers near Discovery Pond at
Jester Park in Polk County this afternoon.
Take care,
Tyler

FYI - A friend of mine shot a Long-tailed Duck in the Red Rock, Marion
County, Iowa area today (11-25-2023).
Posting so that others might look for another Long-tailed Duck in the area.
I have attached her fb post to this email so that you have a photo for bird
ID purposes. I trust that birders reading this will leave the Facebook
poster out of any discussions on the merits of hunting.
HaPpY Birding,
Diane

Subject: [ia-bird] Siskins pose for photos |
Fourteen Pine Siskins (plus some goldfinches) have been emptying our finch
feeders for three days now, so I went out to refill feeders this morning.
The little birds were so tame I could walk up within 10 ft. of them to take
photos with my older camera and smaller lens, instead of using my newer
camera and super-telephoto lens. Here's a shot of five siskins at one
feeder and a small telephoto close-up of a single siskin.

Today at Milligan Pond in Mason City (off Pierce) there was an immature Black-crown Night-heron.
At Clear Lake numbers of ducks and suchwere down, except for Coot numbers.
Eight species of duck were seen between the lake and a private wetland.
At the Lake, the four Black Scoters were still being seen off Beach Ave. However, the three Surf Scoters that we saw last week, and that were seen yesterday, could not be found.
Two Horned Grebes, and a dozen plus C. Loons were seen, but the Pacific Loon, seen off and on, off Orchard Ave. was not seen.
Ten Sandhill Cranes were seen at a private wetland. Thirteen Wilson’s Snipe at Union Hills and three Killdeer were about.
Three N. Shrike were seen in different areas.
No blackbirds could be found.

Several people have expressed a desire to support the Iowa Ornithologists' Union at a higher membership level while still saving the costs of printing and mailing the journal to them. This was discussed at the board meeting last week and I am pleased to say that this option is now available. Login to https://iowabirds.org/ and then go to "My Web Account" in the menu. Anyone with a current membership of Bluebird or higher will be able to toggle an electronic journal off or on. The same option is also available on the membership form and it's time to start thinking about your renewal for 2024.

Hello,
We found a second Saw-whet later this morning in a different location from the one the other day. It also may be on it migrations south, so we will see if it will be here in the morning. We also

Subject: [ia-bird] Pacific Loon at Red Rock |
Today, we found a Pacific Loon still in mostly breeding plumage, at Lake
Red Rock. The Sibley Guide to Birds says that the pale gray nape shows at
great distance. I was scoping out the myriad number of loons on the lake
when I saw that shining gray nape. I knew instantly what it was! The loon
was resting for a few moments and gave us great looks. We were fortunate
that it wasn’t clear across the lake like they usually are! It was a
beautiful day to be on the lake, as it was very calm and the temperature
was warm. The many loons were also giving lots of short little toot calls.
It was pretty cool.
My pictures of course don’t give justice to this beautiful bird. They were
taken with my cellphone through my scope.
Happy birding!

Subject: [ia-bird] Ancient Murrelet |
An apparent Ancient Murrelet was reported to me this morning from the Mississippi River “a few miles north of New Albin, IA”. This was later clarified to be "somewhere south of Reno, MN along the canoe trail that starts at Reno and goes south to New Albin". The linear distance between these two towns is less than 7 miles, so it is certainly possible that this bird eventually will show up in Iowa, possibly in the New Albin Landing area at the end of Army Road.

Subject: [ia-bird] Iowa Bird Life and trigger bird question |
Hello Everyone,
As some of you may recall, I sent a request this past May for members' experiences with trigger or spark birds - the bird encounters that inspired them to start birding.
I'm finishing up the write-up from my responses. But I'd welcome more input from others on this list if y'all are interested in sharing your trigger bird experiences, especially if I hear from you by Thursday night.
Some of you who've already responded may hear from me in the next 24 to 48 hours to clarify whether I can quote directly from your responses.
Also - I would like to personally apologize for the lateness of the most recent issue of Iowa Bird Life. It took me longer than I expected to really get a handle on what's involved. Upcoming issues will not be so delayed.
At the same time, I want to express my deepest gratitude to Ann Johnson for having shepherded me through the process.

For a change, the lake was like a mirror today. No wind, no fog, no glare;
no sun. Fifteen duck species were seen (the teals at a marsh) including a
Black Scoter at N. Shore and Beach Drive. There was a Horned Grebe and then
a Red-necked Grebe off the boat ramp at Lynne Lorensen Park. We saw about a
dozen C. Loons and a Pacific Loon at N. Shore and Orchard Lane. Cormorants,
a few Pelicans, and four species of Gulls.
There were five Dunlin and two large flocks of Lapland Longspurs at Union
Hills. We saw five species of sparrows there, Song, Lincoln's, Swamp, Am.
Tree and Junco.
Eight Sandhill Cranes were at B43 and Heather.
An enjoyable morning!

I didn't expect to get too many species while birding from Ogden (Boone

with 61 kinds of birds. Some of the best were the following:
- Horned Grebes--9 in one bunch at Saylorville
- Pacific Loon--1 at Saylorville
- American Pipits--flock of about 11 flying along Hwy 17 north of Madrid
- Pine Siskins--mixed with a flock of American Goldfinches at Harrier
Marsh
- Lapland Longspurs--early flock of about 40+ at Harrier Marsh
- Rusty Blackbirds--at least 55 in a flock mixed with other blackbirds
and grackles at Jester Park
- Brewer's Blackbirds--63 on a power line at Harrier Marsh

https://ebird.org/checklist/S1978871
The eBird checklist above is a good reference for an Arctic Loon more
recently seen in Colorado in the month of November.
Why isn’t this loon a Common Loon? Other loon species can show white in the
flanks, especially when they turn, even slightly. I’ve seen several times
on Facebook bird ID groups where people get too fixated on the flanks
showing white. If recall correctly, a past Red-throated Loon at Lake Manawa
was initially thought to be an Arctic, with much weight put into that
initial ID from the amount of white in the flanks.

Subject: [ia-bird] Arctic Loon - Saylorville Lakeview main boat ramp - Polk Co. |
I got confirmation that a loon I saw yesterday morning was an Arctic Loon.
It was about 200 yards north of the rock jetty at the main boat ramp at
Saylorville Lakeview. Initially I assumed it was the Pacific loon seen by
RJ Thompson the previous day. After looking at my pictures when I got home
I realized it may be an Arctic loon. Having never seen an Arctic loon
before and having only seen a few Pacific loons, I asked for some eBrider
help with the ID.
Here's the link to my eBird report that has my photos.

Subject: [ia-bird] Eurasian House Sparrow |
Yesterday at my niece's southeast of Pella, I saw at least one Eurasian
House Sparrow. I have seen a few under her feeders from time to time but
had not seen one there for several months. One or two Harris's Sparrows
have been under her feeders the last three weeks.
A female Red-bellied Woodpecker came to those feeders 20 times in less than
30 minutes last week.
At home in western Polk County along Walnut Creek, an immature White-crowned
Sparrow has been on the patio off and on for the past several days, along
with several White-throated Sparrows. One Fox Sparrow made an appearance.
