October 8, 2014 Day 10 Special post with just pictures

The internet is working fine so if it coninues I will post a number of yet unseen pictures.  Here goes!


Bue Stem which is one of the Prairie grasses that is being reestablished.


 This fungi was found on a dead Cottonwood tree in DeSoto NWR.


The "terracing " and berms that are used in the corn growing areas show how the farmers are trying to hold moisture  and inprove crop production. Corn yields about 170 to 180 bushels per acre in Iowa.









At the Desoto  NWR  the results of the Duck Stamp contest for youth were seen. From 4th grade to Sr High.  Here are some samples.






This is the site where the Bertrand riverboat was salvaged after some 100 years under water and more than 20,000 objects of value were restored. It was on the Missouri River that is today part of an Oxbow.
