A lone swallow-tailed kite was observed Sunday March 30 in a wheat field
just before you get to Weber, Arkansas County, and yesterday the
AGFC/ASU grad student observed a pair of swallow-tailed kites for over
40 minutes over Prairie Bayou on the WRNWR.

Good article and pic in the Dem-Gaz.
This would appear to provide a great opportunity for
the folks at AGFC to enhance education about hawks in
general and hawks in an urban enviroment specificaly.
A live-camera hook-up fed to the Commission website,
promoted properly, would give students and others a
great chance to watch the developoment of the chicks.
Good story, Good Opportunity

At or near the beginning of the Guest Photo Gallery is a photo taken
by Kelly Jobe at Laguna Madre on South Padre Island, Texas. Is it a
King Rail or a Clapper Rail?

The grayish edges on the back feathers, and the grayish face make it a Clapper
Rail, King Rails have more buffy or tan edges on the back feathers. Jacque

All three pictures look like clapper rails to me. It looks like all have the
grayish edges to the back feathers.

Joe Neal just called to report that he and Joe Woolbright are looking
at a LONG-BILLED CURLEW west of Chesney Prairie near Siloam Springs.
To reach the area from Springdale: take HWY 412 west towards Siloam
Springs. On the east side of town, just before you reach the Siloam
Springs airport, you should turn right (north) onto Airport Road.
Follow this paved road to the end at which point it turns to gravel
and then continue to the end of the graveled section. The bird was in
a flooded field with yellowlegs and Blue-winged Teal. You may call
Joe Neal at 479-521-1858 or Joe Woolbright at 479-427-4277.
This would be the first Arkansas record since 1987 and only about the
7th overall.
Good birding!!!

The Marbled Godwit is still in the same spot on Punkin Center Road. Lots of
shorebirds in the area, including about 500 Dunlin. I was scoping a field
full of ducks and shorebirds when a Peregrine came and boogered the whole
deal. Not a curlew one in the area.
Good birding!

Welcome to the Arkansas Rare Bird Alert for April 10, 2008, sponsored by the
Audubon Society of Central Arkansas (ASCA). ASCA meets at 7:00pm the second
Thursday of each month at the John Gould Fletcher Library, located at 823
Buchanan St. on the corner of Buchanan and H Streets in Little Rock.
Due to extreme flooding at Cook’s Lake and the White River NWR, plus a massive
inundation of buffalo gnats at Cook’s Lake, the April ASCA field trip location
has been changed. The date is still April 12. Below are the details. (Woolly
Hollow State Park is 12 miles north of Conway on Hwy. 65, then 6 miles east of
Greenbrier, AR. on Hwy. 285.)
We will meet at 7:30 a.m. at the south end of the commuter parking lot at I-630
and Shackleford Road in Little Rock. First stop will be the Camp Robinson
Special Use Area to look for Bachman’s Sparrows. We will then continue to
Woolly Hollow State Park. Early spring migrants are our target birds. After
birding Woolly Hollow, we will drive to Mayflower to eat lunch at the Glory B’s
café. All birders are welcome to join us! For more information, contact Karen
Holliday at karenh(AT)arkleg.state.ar.us.
Don’t forget to register for the statewide meeting of Arkansas Audubon Society
at Fort Smith on April 25-27th. Details are available at www.arbirds.org.
From around the state recent sightings are:
A LONG-BILLED CURLEW was seen in Northwest Arkansas west of Chesney Prairie near
Siloam Springs. To reach the area from Springdale: take HWY 412 west towards
Siloam Springs. On the east side of town, just before you reach the Siloam
Springs airport, you should turn right (north) onto Airport Road. Follow this
paved road to the end at which point it turns to gravel and then continue to the
end of the graveled section. The bird was in a flooded field with yellowlegs
and Blue-winged Teal. You may call Joe Neal at 479-521-1858 or Joe Woolbright at
479-427-4277. This would be the first Arkansas record since 1987 and only
about the 7th overall.
A lone swallow-tailed kite was observed Sunday March 30 in a wheat field just
before you get to Weber, Arkansas County, and on Wednesday April 9 a pair of
swallow-tailed kites were observed for over 40 minutes over Prairie Bayou on the
White River NWR.
An adult breeding plumaged Laughing Gull was seen at Treadway's Minnow Farm.
In Poinsett Co. Marbled Godwit was found the about 3 miles west of AR-1 on
Punkin Center Rd. After crossing a bridge it is the 2nd field on the left.
About a half mile south the Holla Bend NWR entrance, 29 Black-bellied Whistling
Ducks are reported in a small pond on the west side of the highway. In the same
area along west Hwy 155 a Yellow-headed Blackbird was found in a flock of
blackbirds.
Two Lesser Black-Backed Gulls are reported at the Dardanelle Dam.
Thanks for calling the Arkansas Rare Bird Alert. Your contributions make the
Rare Bird Alert possible. If you would like to leave a message, please wait for
the chirp. Good Birding!
