For the first time in many years of feeding birds I've had a Blue Grosbeak
coming to my feeders. It is a male and it's not just on the ground with the
Indigos but also up on the tube feeder eating sunflower seeds.

Right now, from my front door, I can hear 2 of my top ten Arkansas bird
songs! Wood Thrush and R.S. Towhee have been singing in earnest for the last few
mornings. Many other sounds fill the air including Black-and-white, Yellow
rumped and Nashville Warblers.

Bo's note made me stop my paperwork and walk out the door to listen this
morning. I have never heard a Wood Thrush in my yard. Several Swainson's
were calling yesterday and one Wood Thrush was calling at Bell. I was
encouraged by the number of Wood Thrushes we saw in Central American a
few weeks ago. It was one of the few birds that would come out and perch
in the trail.
Calling outside, five minute survey:
Red-eyed Vireo
White-eyed Vireo
Nashville Warbler
Black and white Warbler
Yellow-rumped Warbler
Blue-gray Gnatcatcher
Northern Mockingbird
Carolina Wren
American Crow
Pileated Woodpecker
Tufted Titmouse

Joan Reynolds, Rhonda Asencio, David Oakley and I went birding Saturday, we met
at The Fish Hatchery and spotted: a yellowlegs. Snipe, Killdeer, Am. Golden
Plover, Blue Wing Teal, and Shovelers at the big pond. We moved on to Chesney,
in the field before the entrance were Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs, Wwe saw a
bird that was darker than the yellowlegs but appeared very similar. I decided it
was a Greater Yellowlegs in breeding plumage after going home and blowing up
the one good picture I was able to get.
On the prairie we saw a very large snake, if it was a garter snake, It looked a
lot like a western ribbon snake too but we couldn't decide how many lines were
running down it's body.
Other than that we saw a Harris' Sparrow, White Crowned Sparrow, Savannah
Sparrows, a very light Red tailed hawk, two Brown Thrashers, a L. Shrike,
Mockingbirds, Cardinals and the other usual suspects.
Joan and I parted ways with David and Rhonda and went to look at the Eagles nest
in Gravette. The eagles still appeared to be sitting on eggs. If I don't see
chicks soon I don't think there will be any. They have been sitting since at
least March 8th
..
We stopped by a creek near the small Heronry and Joan saw a Wood Duck. There
were several birds there but we couldn't get an eyeball on most of what we were
hearing. I did see a very pretty Prothonatary warbler that posed and posed for
us. There was a Parula that only had a hint of orange on the bright yellow
breast.
Back at the Hatchery as we drove around there was a another very large brown
snake curled in a shrub in the water, we saw the Canada Goose cross I mentioned
earlier this week. It doesn't sound like a Canada Goose, has orange legs, and a
pinkish beak shaped like a GWF Goose complete with the smallest bit of white
around the edges and the brown neck fading to the body. Jacque Brown, Bella
Vista.

Subject: Eagles with young, and shorebirds in Moffett
From: Sandy Berger <fsbirdlady(AT)YAHOO.COM>
Date: 21 Apr 2008 8:40am
The water is receding quickly in Moffett but shorebirds still abound. I found 3
Willet and a single female Wilson's Phalarope on Sunday. The pects and
yellowlegs are still numerous.
On Friday I watched an adult Bald Eagle in hot pursuit of another adult. They
did the clasp talons and free fall thing. Too cool. There are two eaglets in
the nest.

wild blackberries, but we have forgotten how extensively wild plants =20
can be used. In this workshop, you will not only learn to identify =20
species of Arkansas native vegetation: you=92ll also learn how to =20
prepare a few tasty dishes. For example, acorns make great flour that =20=
you can incorporate into scones and biscuits. The course covers =20
concepts of conservation, history, culture, and plant identification=97=20=

the chambered pith of black walnut, and taste the medicinal inner bark =20=
of slippery elm. And you will learn how to identify all of the other =20
Arkansas trees that grow elsewhere in the state. If you and Confucius =20=

From: Jerry W Davis <jwdavis(AT)FS.FED.US>
Date: 21 Apr 2008 2:01pm
One thing to keep in mind about these workshops is that persons serious
about birding should be familiar with the types of trees and vegetation
that the different species are using. Knowing what you are seeing is
another way to enhance the activity.
If you do not recognize it you will not see it.

----INCLUDING text/plain MIME SECTION----
I had a good weekend birding at several spots, but my
best fun was at Petit Jean St Pk. on the way up little hwy 155
I saw:
scissortail flycatchers
eastern kingbirds
bluebirds
a cooper's hawk
several crows
several turkey vultures
at Cedar Creek Falls the falls were beautiful and full after
all the recent rains. there were a variety of birds nearby.
summer tanagers (singing)
t. titmice (several)
carolina wrens
chipping sparrow (singing)
pine warblers (several
chimney swifts
common crows
a cooper's hawk
at Seven Hollows I saw and heard a variety of good birds including
one bobwhite, pileated and reheaded woodpeckers, crested flycatchers,
indigo bunting and more, but the highlight of my evening was hearing 8 or 9
whippoorwills calling from nearly every direction. there were less
chuckwillswidows.
several of the whips had very distinct individual voices and one was
peculiarly
slower and more emphatic than the others. the full moon rose over the
eastern
ridge and I decided to head back to Little Rock.

Once again, I find that the AAS Field List has the information, I just haven't
learned it all.
I looked up this evening to see a shape and behavior that didn't fit my local
backyard bunch. Sure enough, the binos revealed they were Cedar Waxwings flying
out from the top of an oak catching what I guess are insects (hope they're
those pesky gnats). I've never seen them this late but the List says it can
happen. Always something new to learn.
