A special weather alert describing the intense weather front that swept across the northern great plains on November 10-12, 1998. The intense low pressure system produced one of the greatest mass migrations of waterfowl and the largest migration of Sandhill Cranes recorded in Iowa. The most unusual reports were of 500 or more Sandhill Cranes moving south near Council Bluffs. Additionally, tens of thousands of Snow Geese were reported throughout Iowa, far east of their usual migration path. Also of note were the thousands of that ducks were reported statewide when there had been few present in the preceding weeks.

A statement from Lotus Miller on behalf of the Ames Audubon Society in preparation for a public hearing on September 26, 1973, regarding the potential flooding of Ledges State Park due to the Saylorville Reservoir and dam project. The members of the society are concerned the flooding of the lower valley at Ledges State Park would destroy the habitat of the birds inhabiting the park, many of them rare species found nowhere else in Iowa. The members believe the best alternative to prevent the drastic change to the habitat and appearance of the lower canyon is a channel change barrier dam.
