If there was a prettier place in Iowa than Lake Red Rock this week, I would love to see it. I went to check out the lake and the annual migration of birds with Marion County Naturalist Marla Mertz. While we spoke about many birds, the thousands of pelicans stole the show. The photo above was taken by Ron Huelse of Knoxville, one of Iowa's finest nature photographers.
