Iowa's
Spectacular Spring Songbird Migration
Iowa’s location in the center of the country makes it a great
location for observing and enjoying the spring songbird migration. Writer
and photographer Ty Smedes will present photos and will share his knowledge
of more than 30 warbler species, along with the many colorful vireos,
tanagers, and other migrating passerines. Physical characteristics of
the various species, useful for identification, along with habitat favored
during migration, migration dates, favorite field guides, etc., will
be discussed. Photo emphasis is on behavior, including singing, nesting,
and especially catching insects and larvae. Ty is a regular feature
writer & photographer for the Iowa DNR's Iowa Outdoors Magazine,
and his work has appeared in The Iowan Magazine, Our Iowa, the Iowa
Natural Heritage Foundation Magazine, and other publications. He is
the author of three nature books, including Capturing Iowa's Seasons
, The Return of Iowa's Bald Eagles (which has been released
in an updated 2nd edition), and Iowa's Wild Beauty..
