Field notes contributed by Francis L. Moore, summer 1984 Item Info

Field notes were contributed by Francis L. Moore, summer 1984, with four other observers.

A Chestnut-sided Warbler was found singing in Grundy County and documented, a Black-necked Stilt was documented at Union Slough NWR, and a Great-tailed Grackle was documented at the IPL Cooling Ponds. Cuculidae were not very common, but Yellow-throated Vireos were in high numbers for southwest Iowa.
