I will be taking a trip to Iowa the end of June - actually going to take
some trumpeter swan cygnets back to assist with the state's Trumpeter Swan
Project of restoring the species in Iowa.
Does anyone know of a contact in the state for information on birding
areas. I will be in the DesMoines-Ames-Clearlake area.
Please e-mail me privately.
Thanks
Martha Jordan
