Winter of 1974-75, Red Rock area and Pleasantville, Iowa field notes were submitted by Gladys Black along with a cover letter to Vernon M. Kleen dated March 19, 1975, a newspaper article and a map. The article was one she wrote for the Des Moines Register called "Reports two Snowy Owls seen in central Iowa," and the map showed the number of Snowy Owl observations in Iowa counties, November 1974-March 1975. The letter summarized the findings on Snowy Owls from responses to the newspaper article, and the impact of a blizzard January 10-11 in northwest Iowa that killed many birds and livestock. This item was used as supporting documentation for the Iowa Ornithologists’ Union Quarterly field report of winter 1974-1975.

Field notes and map from Michael C. Newlon covered bird sightings in the Iowa City area, winter 1974-1975. The map showed the locations of the Hawkeye Wildlife Area, the Coralville Reservoir and Dam, and Cone Marsh relative to Iowa City. Some sightings extended into March, and were also recorded on the Mississippi River between Davenport and the locks. These items were undated with years, but they were used as supporting documentation for the Iowa Ornithologists’ Union Quarterly field report of winter 1974-1975.

Gladys Black reported on fall migration, 1975, at the Red Rock Lake and Refuge, Pleasantville, Iowa. She noted it was an exceptional year for Evening Grosbeaks. She wrote a cover letter to Vernon M. Kleen regarding the impact on bird populations of blizzards, flooding from dams, and a potential nuclear power plant that might be built near the Red Rock Reservoir, December 10, 1975. Included was a sheet about the Red Rock Game Management Area published by the Iowa Conservation Commission, with a map of the area annotated by Black to show the power plant location and which areas were favored by different species of birds. This item was used as supporting documentation for the Iowa Ornithologists’ Union Quarterly field report of fall 1975.
