Geese Visit Storm Lake and Davenport Bird Story
A Des Moines newspaper column from April 1923 recounts thousands of geese and brants at Storm Lake causing nightly uproar, plus a tale of D. C. Smith's airplane mail run colliding with a goose at 1000 feet near Town City. A Davenport river navigation conference discusses barges on the upper Mississippi and potential barge lines.
