Experienced and aspiring birders joined birding workshops at Oneota Park Wednesday, hosted by the Clay County Conservation. Kelly McKay from BioEco Research and Monitoring Center taught participants to distinguish different birds and led several hikes to find them in their natural habitat.
The Building Better Birder workshop was possible because of a grant provided by the Resource Enhancement and Protection-Conservation Education Program (REAP-CEP).

The diversity and breadth of Iowa’s natural environment is captured in a new series of publications by Iowa State University Extension and Outreach and the Iowa Association of Naturalists.
“Iowa’s Nature Series” is a collection of 10 publications covering topics such as landforms and geology, forests, prairies, aquatics, vertebrates, invertebrates, plants, and influential voices for Iowa’s nature.
The publications are educational and feature color photography, original artwork, and creative designs.
The series is an update to similar publications that were produced about 20 years ago, with a focus on making them digitally accessible and accurate to date.
