| Event Remarks |
Viewing Conditions: [...] An early morning haze still hung heavy along the river as we crossed the bridge and made a right turn on the gravel road that follows the Iowa river near the small town of Quarry. [...] We were in such close range of this magnificent bird that the use of binoculars was hardly necessary for identification, yet with the glasses one could more clearly see the large yellow eyes and beak, the black chin marking and the very large prominent facial disks. [...] here he was within forty feet of our car, looking straight at us and giving us the rare privilege of studying his lovely plumage and fascinating facial markings for a good ten minutes! |
