This morning, Dale & I were with Dan Scheiman when he saw his 599 & 600 birds,
the Golden-cheeked Warbler & the Black-capped Vireo. Photos will be available
when we return to Little Rock. We split our ways as he was heading to NW
Oklahoma for a Lesser Prairie Chicken, & we are heading to Beaumont & High
Island for warblers.
Congratulations Dan!!!

Date: 5 Apr 2008 3:48pm
Samantha and I left early and met Karen Holliday at 6:45 and then rode
with her to Bona Dea Trails where we met David Ray and Ted (last name
unknown). We birded the area with Yellow-crowned Night-Herons as the
target bird. We then visited a nearby Disk Golf course and finally swung
by Holla Bend NWR for Black-bellied Whistling ducks (found) and
Yellow-headed Blackbirds (not). Finished around 1 PM and headed home. I
saw 59 separate species. Thanks, Ted, for being our guide.
Here are two images of the highlights of the day:

I wish you could have been here at my house day before yesterday. We had a
yellow crowned night heron in the tree across the street! My husband came and
got me to see what it was. I got a few pictures and then he left. Guess he
got tired of trying to fly in all the rain.

vegetation while we watched it.

We heard several birds in the trees we couldn't find and weren't good enough
with songs to ID.
We sat by the spillway for a good half hour and the area was alive with yellow
rumps, kinglets, swallows, and phoebes.
We also saw a butterfly fresh out of it's cocoon, either a comma or question
mark, the lower wings weren't open yet.
Also a red admiral, hackberrys and some sulfers.
Squirrels, grey and fox and Chipmonks.
The dogwoods are ready to bloom and small, beautiful, woodland wildflowers were
popping up everywhere.
