First brush with bird watchers inspires a ward ened conservation tale
A retired warden recalls meeting Fred Pierce and Dr J Harold Ennis on a Winthrop McGregor bird hike in October 1940. They identify birds by song, spot a pileated woodpecker, see wood ducks and duck hawks, and discuss a bird sanctuary will. The experience broadens his view of conservation and his Iowa Ornithologist Union membership.
