A directory of birders in Iowa who were instrumental in the recovery of Eastern Bluebirds in the state in 1990. Includes Bluebird nest box data, information on Bluebird clutches and nests as well as the names and locations of participants with their observations on number of houses, number of eggs, number hatched, and the number fledged. The directory also contains a list of predators and problems that may be encountered on the Bluebird trail with possible solutions, design plans for a Sparrow trap and a Bluebird slot box and a blank 1991 Nest Box Record form to return the next year.

An essay written by Walter Rosene reporting the findings from a study of nesting Great Horned Owls that he and Bob Walker completed over the course of seven years from 1934-1939. Included in the report are the outcomes from the eggs that were laid and brooded each year, the record of the food found in the nest, and the behavior of the owls. In the seven year study of this particular nesting site, six young birds grew to maturity and left the nest, and all of them were banded.

Second supplementary breeding bird census of Big Sand Mound Nature Preserve, Louisa County, Iowa, 1984, was written by Peter C. Petersen. It was submitted to Environmental Services Division, Iowa-Illinois Gas and Electric Company, Davenport, Iowa, July 1984. Three visits were made in 1984 and compared with 1983 to re-evaluate the breeding population of the preserve, with dozens of species listed along with their breeding status. On the title page of the report was a note from Peter C. Petersen to James J. Dinsmore that he had included the most significant records in a separate report. That report listed six species at BSMNP. This item was used as supporting documentation for the Iowa Ornithologists’ Union Quarterly field report of summer 1984.
