- HAWTHORN WILDLIFE AREA IN IOWA IS A BIRDING PARADISE!
From the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. . .
Barnes City, Iowa – The change going on at Hawthorn Wildlife Area has been nothing short of extraordinary. Gone are hundreds of acres of non-native invasive brush and in its place is reconstructed prairie using local native prairie grass and wildflowers.
Its improving habitat attracted a small quail population two years ago, on top of the existing squirrel, rabbit, pheasant, deer, turkey, otter, bobcat and more that call Hawthorn home. It also hosts less common species like northern long-eared bat, smooth green snake, Coopers hawk, prairie skinks and Henslowe’s sparrows. “It would be a good place to come for bird watching,” he said, as a nervous indigo bunting darted into the safety of the dense shrubs.
