Birders Having seen over 200 species in all but 97 of Iowa's counties, I was eagerly anticipating reaching that benchmark in Delaware. Alas, 'twas not to be, but not for lack of effort.
Chris E. summarized the field trips he has put together for the Spring IOU meeting. It's an appealing array of varied habitats. If you can get to Iowa City (just east of Tiffin), it should be a great meeting.
