Spotting Scope Check-out Program:  Thanks to recent donations, Iowa City Bird Club has started a new program allowing members to borrow a spotting scope for a week at a time.  Birders new to scope-use can get a real feel for a new level of birding, especially helpful for viewing waterfowl and shorebirds.  Arrange your check-out by contacting iowacitybirdclub@gmail.com 
Iowa City Bird Club appreciates the generous donations from Mark Bowman and Bill Schieble of Swarovski scope/tripod and Kowa scope/tripod.
