Date: 11/14/25 11:02 am From: 'Tucker Lutter' via IA-BIRD <ia-bird...> Subject: [ia-bird] Westfield Christmas Bird Count - December 16
Hello Folks, Please join us for the Westfield Christmas Bird Count on December 16. Located at the northern terminus of the Loess Hills, the count circle encompasses some of the largest remaining prairies in Iowa, including Broken Kettle Grasslands, which is home to wintering Golden Eagles, Red-shafted Northern Flickers, a herd of American Bison, and formerly Iowa's only breeding population of Black-billed Magpies.
We will meet at 7:30 AM at the Westfield Community Center (215 Linden St., Westfield, IA) before breaking out into birding groups.
We will meet back at the community center at 12:30 pm for a potluck lunch and again at 5 PM for the compilation.
The backup date for inclement weather is Thursday, December 18.
Since we are having a potluck lunch, please plan to bring a main or side dish. Please let me know what you plan on bringing so we can have a well-rounded selection of food.
To RSVP, please respond to this email.
Good birding,
Tucker J. Lutter
