Nature's Note Rich Patterson: Eagles Feeding in Winter Iowa Rivers
Cold weather drew bald eagles over Cedar Rapids with at least 60 seen in late January. They perch in cottonwoods and dive into open water to feed on fish, especially gizzard shad. DDT ban helped rebound populations. open water areas near dams and warm effluent attract hunting birds. Patterson leads Indian Creek Nature Center.

Hubbard Industrial Park turns former ice plant into business hub
Ten local investors redeveloped the 4 acre Hubbard Ice Plant site at 1124 First St NW into Hubbard Industrial Park to host new and existing Cedar Rapids businesses. Scott Olsen notes most of the complex was derelict when purchased from H J Heinz, with Quality Chef Foods later using only the large freezer building. In 1902 blue ice production supported 500 workers, a pre refrigeration era industry. Feb 13 marks key historical notes including Grant Wood Elementary mural unveiling and tributes to notable Cedar Rapids figures.
