Just want to take a moment to thank everyone involved with the publication of Iowa Bird Life, now and in years past. Having spent my entire adult career in the publishing industry (and extremely happy to now be retired from it), I KNOW it takes a lot of hard work to make the quarterly publications come together. Your time and efforts are greatly appreciated!
One new feature from the past couple of issues that I am especially enjoying is the addition of maps to the field reports. Thanks for including those, they are quite helpful in presenting a visual overview of the sightings.
For bird sightings, this morning at the Blue Grass sod farm on Deal Road in Linn County, there were 2 UPLAND SANDPIPERS out on the sod, and 3 adult and 12 juvenile GRAY PARTRIDGE along the west side fence line.
