Thank for the background information on the loss and restoration of so many species of wildlife in the United States and Iowa. Jim and I look forward to the monitoring of eagle and osprey nests for the DNR every year. A successful nest with young in it brings us so much joy and satisfaction as do the Canada geese that fly over our house almost daily.

Thanks for your volunteer work, checking on these nests and being part of efforts to make sure "They're back!"

Thanks Dan for the informative article on Cranes. Great photos, too! This makes me want to get out and see more cranes.

Glad you enjoyed it. Gotta love seeing, and hearing, cranes!

Thank you Dan! Hopeful stories are always welcome. Growing up in eastern Iowa we very rarely saw geese, deer tracks were a very unusual surprise, and we never saw eagles. I often wonder how many smaller, less conspicuous, species were lost from Iowa that we never even knew were part of our Iowa biodiversity…🤔
