Mission aimed at charting Iowa's biodiversity. Anything from arthropods to fungi. Lets team up and map Iowa's creatures.
Here are some links that can help you identify your spottings;

Birds - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_birds_of_Iowa

Mammals - http://www.gis.iastate.edu/gap/terra/atlas/mammals.htm
Fish - http://www.extension.iastate.edu/publications/ian605.pdf
I haven't found one for fungi or plants.
Go out, find a reclusive spot or just out in your back yard and see what you can find and what Iowa has to offer. Please no pets or domesticated animals but all others are welcome.
