Winnebago County, Iowa
I am originally from Omaha, NE, but I have worked as a Naturalist for the Winnebago County Conservation Board since 1985. I have a BS Degree from Iowa State University in Wildlife Biology and an MS Degree from the University of Iowa in Science Education. I am married with a son in middle school and we all enjoy spending time outdoors!

Finally...A Redpoll

Boy, what a beautiful sunrise it was this morning! But, it seems as if the "Red sky in the morning..." adage might hold true, since we are expecting several inches of snow and a lot of wind later. It will once again look like winter around here, at least for a while. But, we expect that around here...Last year, we still had ice on our lakes well into April!

Not much new to report on the bird front, except that I finally did see a Redpoll at one of our park bird feeders earlier this week! So, the irruption of winter finches from the north continues. I also have been seeing some Tree Sparrows and a lot of Juncos, so the winter birds are still hanging around. But, every now and then, I do hear a Cardinal singing, so Spring can't be too far away!
