Subject: storm casualty
From: Sandy Berger <fsbirdlady(AT)YAHOO.COM>
Date: 11 Apr 2008 10:25am
One of our Northside High School teachers has a dead
Screech Owl at school today. A tree in his yard came
down. He found the owl tucked into a shelf on his
porch. It must have tried to find shelter after the
tree came down. It probably died of a heart attack.
I know my heart was really thumping when that hail
storm hit.
I hate for the bird to die, but what a great
opportunity to be able to show it to school kids.

I have noticed that gray squirrels on the U of A campus are eating tree buds
as well this spring. I don't remember seeing this behavior in the past.
maybe there were not many acorns last fall due to the Easter freeze in 2007.

Dennis, Thank you so much for that second e mail, I took my lunch early and
drove over there.
I drove by once and didn't see them, I drove to the fish hatchery and didn't see
them there either but there were two gulls with black heads, I need to look
them up. could be Bonapartes or Franklins, I digiscoped them. I decided to go
back to the farm ponds on Holloway, I checked out every water filled depression
in the area. They were in one of those on the west side of that second farm
pond. I was able to digiscope them too. Hopefully my skills are improving.

PS they were awake.

the Janet Huckabee Arkansas River Valley Nature Center in Ft. Smith,
Arkansas 25-27 April. Registration will be at the nature center Friday from
4:00 - 6:00 pm.
Catherine Rideout, non-game ornithologist with the Arkansas Game & Fish
Commission will speak following dinner at 7:30 pm. She will give "Updates
on the search for the Ivory-billed Woodpecker in Arkansas and the
Southeast."
Five field trips are scheduled for Saturday (all will be led by experienced
birders):
(1) Devil's Den State Park/Cartwright Mt. Road;
(2) Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge, Vian, OK and Moffett Bottoms;
(3) Flanagan/Cherokee Prairies;
(4) Lee Creek Reservoir/Springhill Park/Lock and Dam 13;
(5) Fort Chaffee/Janet Huckabee Arkansas River Valley Nature Center.
Speakers for the Saturday evening dinner meeting will be Jack Stewart,
current President of AAS and his wife, Pam. Their topic, highlighted by a
PowerPoint presentation will be "40 Days in Peru."
Convention registration is $20.00 per person with evening meals an
additional charge.
An opportunity will be given for students to present their research in the
form of a short research presentation of 12-15 minutes, or, a poster
presentation. All students are encouraged to update the AAS on current
research. If interested in presenting, or for convention information,
contact Jason Luscier, AAS Vice-President, at 479-871-9199 or
<mailto:jluscie(AT)uark.edu> jluscie(AT)uark.edu.
The Arkansas Audubon Society is open to any interested person. A
downloadable brochure about the Society is available at
<http://www.arbirds.org/> http://www.arbirds.org/ For Annual dues
information you may contact Terry Butler, P. O. Box 313, Pangburn, AR 72121.
AAS conferences provide excellent opportunities to meet other birdwatchers
and to learn about bird-related issues currently occurring around the state.
Plus, the spring migration will likely peak during our conference, making
our field trips an excellent opportunity to see lots of neo-tropical
migrants passing through.

I'm new to Little Rock and was surprised to spotted what looked like a
Scissor-Tailed Flycatcher near I-30 and Randall Rd in Saline County this
afternoon at about 5:30pm. According to my Stokes they aren't suppose to be
this far east. Can someone enlighten me?
Thanks,

Lyle,
Do yourself a favor and download a copy of the Arkansas Audubon
Society Field List. It lists every bird species ever reported in
Arkansas and for most birds gives the range of dates that they are
seen. In particular it says that Scissor-tailed Flycatcher is a common
summer resident and is typically seen from the end of March to the end
of November. I saw two today in northwest Arkansas.

I saw my first hummer early this morning, from the kitchen window, =
before work. I filled up my feeder before I left.

Subject: Cook Landing, Floods, and Coyotes
From: "George R. Hoelzeman" <uiogd(AT)ARKANSAS.NET>

Combining several things in one tale of mystery and adventure.
I know it will surprise many, but there is a lot of water in the country right
now. Along Hwy 95 north of Morrilton, the area below the Lake Overcup levee has
been flooded for weeks. Its over the highway again as of today. Last time it
was over the highway (about Easter) the road was officially closed for a week.
I say officially because people were routinely running the barracades. I ran
them today on the way home and the water was between 3 and 8 inches deep
across the road. That means it is about 8 or so feet deep off the shoulder (the
road bed has been built up over the years).
There is a field just north of the Overcup Creek bridge on 95 that is for sale.
80 acres of excellent pasture which is frequently under water when we get
heavy rains. Needless to say, none of the locals is buying (I think they are
hoping to snooker some poor sap from out of state). Ideal waterfowl habitat,
however, and I've been seeing Shoveller (sp?), Canada Geese, Mallards, Wood
Ducks and large numbers of Blue-Winged Teal working the waters. On
one occasion, I spotted a flock of about 30 birds I could not identify which
gave the impression of sandpipers of some sort. Greyish, long bills (not Long-
Billed Curlew long, but visible from the highway), pointy wings and rapid
flight. Had they not been grey and in a tight flock of 30 something I would
have
thought Woodcock, but they weren't woodcock. Only saw them once and couldn't
stop to ID.
Speaking of floods, I was in Little Rock today with the youngest in tow. On the
way back across the 430 bridge, the Little One spied a dredge barge which
drew my attention to the flooding down around Cook's Landing - so we drove down
to investigate. On the way in, the last section of road from the park to
the dam was partially flooded, but we pushed thru anyway. The area was covered
up with White Pelicans, which excited the Little One (Heidi) no end. A
number of bank swallows were also very much in evidence, apparently setting up
house under the Big Dam Bridge (I never tire of saying that name). At one
point a Pelican rode the winds (which were significant) and floated eye level to
us as we walked the bridge. It came within 20 or so feet which excited
BOTH of us no end.
On the way out, barracades had been put up on the road, which was significantly
further under water than when we came in.
And, finally, out at our place (just south of Cleveland easily identified by the
swath of destruction) they have completed the timber salvage on our property.
Logging activities have disrupted the local inhabitants, which means the local
coyotes are making the dogs crazier than usual. Two mornings ago, about
11:00am I was heading out to where I don't remember, but as I headed up the hill
I spotted a large, black coyote running the pasture. At first, I wasn't sure
what it was, but as I got closer it was clearly a coyote. This is the second
time I've seen a black coyote out here, the first being about 5 years ago. How
unusual is this color variant?
Fun stuff.
