Where the heck is...?

Have you ever read about a great sighting on the listserv or on a Rare Bird Alert and wondered "where the heck is that place"? Birders, like others, are notorius for having local names for their favorite birding haunts. To this end, IOU members attempt to keep up a Gazetteer to birding locations in Iowa. This may be the best place to start your search.
