Greetings from western Iowa. On a gravel road near Moorehead Park I observed 20 male and 2 female Boblinks on a fence line - cool! A walk through Moorehead included FOY Magnolia Warbler, Northern Parula, Gray-cheeked Thrush and Broad-winged Hawk. I also stumbled upon a nest in the making by a Red-eyed Vireo. As the nest is about ten feet high above a bike trail, I'll have the opportunity to watch the progress of the young through the next month or so. Closer to home I added a Brown-headed Cowbird to my yard list. First sighting in the limits of Ida Grove.
