30 October 2009 - Avian Conservationist of the year Award
Congratulations to Michael Watkins, Wildlife Biologist in the Kansas City District, on winning the 2009 Kansas Ornithological Society Avian Conservationist of the Year! Mike has dedicated his career to conducting research and management on Kansas birds, most notably Bald Eagle, Interior Least Tern, and Piping Plover. This is fantastic recognition for Mike's good work, and another feather in the Corps' cap for supporting his efforts.
6 May 2009 - New Birding Trails
The first is the Makoke Birding Trail in central Iowa which features some 22 key sites, including Saylorville Lake, Red Rock Lake, and Neal Smith NWR, all within a 40-minute drive from Des Moines. (Makoke means bird in the Ioway tribal language and was chosen to honor the native people once inhabiting much of central Iowa.) The trail guide may be unique in using aerial photographs as the basis for maps of each site described on the trail. A guide may be downloaded here:
