Birders This AM, in conditions rapidly becoming like those in the interior of a Baldwin Co. steam locomotive, I surveyed BBA block 401 (Palo Marsh) in Linn County. Among my observations; confirmed nesting for Osprey (cellphone tower south of Palo at Covington/Yates Rd.), and perhaps the rarest bird I've found in Iowa this year, Ring-necked Pheasant (hen wth 5 chicks). 18 confirmed nesters + a new location for ECDO in Linn Co.
