With a total of 144 birds identified within the state, I ended 2025 ranked 167th in Iowa Birding.
According to ebird, I am now in the top 500 in Iowa history.
While I'll always keep an ear out for the birds, my eyes will be on the ground this time around.
2026 is all about fungi.

Thrilled to welcome Angel Ramirez to the Iowa House! Not only is she making history as the first Latina to serve in the Iowa House, but she put up the biggest special election performance by a Democrat anywhere in 2025. Congratulations Angel, I know you're just getting started.

"Love is like a tidal wave," she says.
"Because it sweeps you off your feet?" I ask.
"No, because it sucks you under and you drown."
"But sometimes," I point out, "it's the only thing that keeps you afloat."
