Geocache Description:


Coordinates will take you to the parking area in front of the Lake Iowa Nature Center. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, will be to identify 6 bird cut outs (larger than life sized) placed around the Nature Center's Porch, Monarch Butterfly Garden and behind the Nature Center.  On the under side of each bird's beak, you will find a number.  Identify each bird and collect the six digits associated with each bird.

A - American Robin 

B - Bluejay

C - Cardinal

D - Downie Woodpecker

E - Blackcapped Chickadee

F - Red Headed Woodpecker

Now replace each letter with the digit associated with the bird you have identified above to determine the final coordinates of this cache.

N 41 38.ABC

W 092 10.DEF

 

In this geocache, you will find a set of binoculars that you may use to observe some of the real live birds around Lake Iowa. Please to not remove these, but leave them for the next geocacher to enjoy.
