Letter from C.A. Stewart to E.L. Kozicky, Margaret Jones, George E. Crossley, J.F. Moore, and Fred Hall regarding a revised check list for the birds of Iowa, February 3, 1950. Stewart suggests the best way to revise the check list to include the most up-to-date bird ranges is a survey of bird populations completed by members of the IOU. Included with the letter are instructions to be used in making out the frequency report and an example of a 'Report of occurrence frequency and breeding status of birds of Iowa' form completed by Stewart.

A report compiled by the members of the Committee of Bird Distribution in response to growing opinions that the current state bird list for Iowa may be misleading due to the fact that gives the status of each species on a state-wide basis. The committee has divided the state into 9 sections for a more accurate representation of when and where certain species of birds are observed. Then, based on information collected from IOU members from the past 15 years, the species were classified by when they were reported in the state, including summer resident or visitor, winter resident or visitor, spring or fall migrant, permanent resident, casual, or accidental. Also attached is the resulting checklist of each bird found in Iowa listed by species, state location, and classification as well as a list of several species that have been seen with enough frequency to warrant inclusion to the Iowa check-list.
