They are beautiful, Emily! I was so excited when I saw this one!
I saw one of these for the first time a couple weeks ago. Amazing!
Thank you, Logan. It was nice to see how things are out west! I will definitely add any of my Iowa spottings to your mission!
Great spotting! Good to see you crossed to the good side (of the river.) ;) You are more than welcome to add this and any spottings from Iowa to my mission! http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/2149...
Thanks, Bill. The one I saw in Davenport was the first one I had ever seen. Since then, I have seen two more:)
Nice spotting Stephanie! I used to see this everywhere at this time of year, and oddly enough, I've only seen two or three.
