It could be said that this edition of Iowa Outdoors is for the birds.

We spend some time with a club that is on the lookout for young people who have and interest in bird watching.  We get a birds-eye view of the state thanks to an Iowan who quite literally flies by the seat of his pants.  We examine why the Iowa DNR and Pheasants Forever feel it is important to cooperate in an effort to increase habitat for upland game birds.  We found one Iowa farmer who hatched a plan to turn prairie seeds into a cash crop.  We’ve kept an eagle eye on the Decorah raptor that became an internet sensation and have exciting news about her travels.  And we take a trip to Pikes Peak State Park and the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge.
