Saturday, July 28, we spotted 200+ white pelicans at the Hawkeye Wildlife Management area (off Amana Road), along with a dozen or so great egrets and GB Herons. It seems unusual to be seeing the pelicans at this time -- early migration?
We also encountered a couple of very vocal red-tailed hawks, indigo buntings galore. Down Greencastle Road from the bridge we observed a mature bald eagle perched on a dead tree further down river. - Michele Francis Cedar Rapids --- 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.
