    Thanks, Dave! :D

    Nothing like practice. When you go to Green Island, I guarantee you will get plenty of practice!

    Cross the river at Savanna...go north on 52 a few miles until you see one of those brown Iowa conservation signs. You turn right and go 4 miles back to the marsh. I found that staying in the car worked best. Just creep along at 5 mph with one tire in the grass worked for me. It's a large area...you will NOT be disappointed.

    Very nice set with a great birds variety. The "Shake for Glenn", and the Pewee are my favorites.
