What a lovely week it has been! Indigo buntings arrived on Thursday. =
Thanks Mary Alice and others for your help in finding white millet. =
Thursday evening watched 100s lightening bugs dance in our back =
pasture as I listened to my FOY Chuck-Will's -Widow! Some people read =
the newspaper with their morning coffee, I read AR Bird Digest. This =
morning I looked out the window and there was beautiful male =
Rose-Breasted Grossbeak! What a way to start the day! Really need to =
clean my house, but birding may win. Usually my Painted Buntings arrive =
about the same time as the Grossbeaks and I don't want to miss that! =20

Does anyone know of any eagle nests near enough to Ninestone (in south =
Carroll County) that an adult would come here to find food for its =
nestlings? Are there known nests on Beaver Lake or along the Kings River =
this year?=20
This morning the mature Bald Eagle was perched above the same stretch of =
creek where I saw it yesterday evening. It flew a short distance =
downstream yesterday & it seemed ok. We kept our distance this morning =
so as not to disturb it. Not sure if I should be excited about a near =
nest, or concerned for a possibly unwell bird.
Also saw & heard FOY Blue-winged Warblers.

Out the door when the sun got me up. Walking around the property,
activity grows daily. Cool in the morning. Heavy singing by the Red-eyed
Vireos, but also Blue-headed Vireos and Philadelphia Vireos.
Yellow-rumps, Black-and-whites and Nashville Warblers a close second.
Nashvilles sing virtualy all day long along with the Red-eyed Vireo.
Gnatcatchers working at nests. One in the cup
sitting-wiggling-turning-sittiing-wiggling-repeat with the feathered
rump. Another pulling lines and tatters from a tent caterpillar nest.
They line the nest with spiderweb and cat spinnings. Must be damn cozy
when you are as tiny as a baby gnatcatcherlet.
Black-throated Greens very chatty. And the surprise singer was a stop
and start Ovenbird. Like he wasn't quite sure if he should be doing full
volume yet. Walking through my leaf litter. Some songs just about
whispered, others maybe 60% of the full knock-your-socks-off Ovenbird
volume. Lovely things. Walkers. I like a bird that walks.
First Blue-winged Warblers I have heard. First Summer Tanagers talking.
One up high taking the full morning sun. The Phoebe has chosen a spot on
my gutter down spout for a nest. Good spot as it will not shed droppings
and phoebe-trash on the porch but can be viewed easily from the porch.
By nine it was mostly over. Only the neverstop singers after that.
Singing or chattering on the land this morning:
Chimney Swift
Red-bellied Woodpecker

We had 37 bird species for the day. Not bad for not leaving the house.
New to the birdcam list was Orchard Oriole (#30) and Rose-breasted
Grosbeak (#31). We just missed adding a Baltimore Oriole that visited
both hummingbird feeders and then perched briefly on the webcam
feeder. Once again we forgot to look at the birdcam image until the
bird was gone. Dang! The Orchard Oriole was also a new yard-bird,
#107. Our complete lists of webcam-birds and yard-birds are on
Arkansas Birder. A Black Vulture shared the sky over our house with an
immature Bald Eagle.

Started the day @ Kingfisher trail @ Pinnacle w/ Karen Holliday, and Doris &
Dottie Boyles. Met up with Dan Schieman & Samantha Holschbach @ Allsopp &
from there traveled to Gillam Park. Everyone had somewhere else to go from
there, so I headed to Hwy 70 to see if the Upland sandpipers that Dennis
Braddy saw were still there. No luck. Thanks to Dottie Boyles for spotting a
hooded warbler, (yes, a common bird), but still a lifer for me. Wound up
with a total of 61 species w/ the following being FoS:
Hooded warbler
Blue-winged warbler
Black-throated green warbler
Kentucky warbler (thanks, Dan)
Magnolia warbler
Osprey
Mississippi kite
Baltimore oriole
Swainson's thrush
Blue grosbeak
