I have observed over 90 bird species at Springbrook State Park in the last two days. There are many new migrants and there have been several exciting sightings. Some of the highlights were bobolinks, dicksissels, a western kingbird, summer and scarlet tanagers, indigo buntings, and a whip-poor-will. Thirteen warbler species have also been observed in the last two days, including:
ovenbird northern parula yellow-rumped warbler yellow warbler cape may warbler blue-winged warbler tennesse warbler american redstart common yellowthroat palm warbler magnolia warbler black-and-white warbler blackpoll warbler I also observed a peregrine falcon a half a mile east of Yale, IA on County Road F-25 Austin --- Please contribute your sightings to our list; it is only as good as members make it! --- Birding channel recommendation for FRS/GMRS radio use: Primary selection; channel 5/0 , alternate selection; channel 6/0 --- This mailing list is sponsored by the Iowa Ornithologists' Union.
