Pleasant Creek State Recreation Area in Linn County. This lake northwest of Cedar Rapids can be good for loons, grebes, ducks, gulls, geese, and other birds in the fall. We’ll drive to different sites around the lake, but there will be some trail walking. 


Iowa City area carpool info: meet at 7:45 a.m. at Kohls in Coralville (2795 Commerce Dr., Coralville).
For those not carpooling: meet leader Wendy VanDeWalle at Pleasant Creek at the main boat ramp parking area at 8:30 (turn left at the stop sign at the bottom of the hill and drive to the big parking area).
