Pete Thayer's Favorite Hot Spots:
Cone Marsh Wildlife Area
41.38 N   91.39 W
This marshland area is southeast of Iowa City. Look for King and Virginia rails, Sedge Wrens and Yellow-headed Blackbirds. The water levels vary, so you may see lots of waterfowl and shorebirds.

Lake Red Rock
41.39 N   93.00 W
This is where many rare gulls have been seen. In migration you will see loons, grebes and waterfowl. Bald Eagles are easy to see in the winter -- check the river below the dam.
