Hi All, I had a single Swainson's Hawk sitting in a field north of Moeckley Prairie this afternoon, along NW 134th St. (where there is typically a flooded field). I also took a walk along the Neal Smith Trail south of Sycamore Access and had the following of note (including 4 warblers!): > Broad-winged Hawk 5 (FOY) > House Wren 1 > Blue-gray Gnatcatcher 2 > Hermit Thrush 6 > Orange-crowned Warbler 1 (FOY) > Northern Parula 1 (FOY) > Yellow-rumped Warbler (Myrtle) 22 > Yellow-throated Warbler 1 > Swamp Sparrow 3 > White-throated Sparrow 8 > Dark-eyed Junco (Slate-colored) 1 Danny Akers Ankeny & Iowa City [email protected]
