Happy Moments Vol. 77: bird-watching baby + swimming elk

The simple moments in life are keeping Iowans happy through the pandemic.

DES MOINES, Iowa — What's happening outside the window can be big entertainment while you're quarantined. Baby Reed and Jango the cat took a moment to do a little bird watching. It's always better to have a good friend by your side, especially these days.
