How could I have forgotten to mention that Delos and Hazel McCauley
also were in the caravan across the state?!
Also, we saw 9 Trumpeter Swans on the edge of Holla Bend NWR. We
didn't look closely enough to read neck bands.

Saw a pair of Baltimore orioles this weekend near the Clinton Library in
downtown Little Rock. They were tending to a nest in a large sycamore
tree within plain view of the walking trail, ~150-200 yards west of the
library and adjacent to the future home of the Presidential Park
Wetlands.

Subject: FOS Baltimore Oriole and Hummingbird
Had my first of the year ruby throat and baltimore oriole on the same
day. I have an ant moat for the hummingbird feeder but the oriole feeder
seems to be fair game. Its my first year with an official oriole feeder
and the ants are cleaning me out of nectar.
Also have bluebirds and carolina wrens about to fledge.
I drove by sweden falls natural area last week and they were doing a
prescribed burn. Isn't it a little late?
So many are already nesting and all the herps are out. So much for the
heritage commission caring about box turtles.

This is a reminder that tomorrow April 29 is Stuttgart's Rid-Litter Day. I'll
have a team at Stuttgart Airport (Important Bird Area) from 3-5. Stuttgart will
have food and entertainment from 5-6. Bring work gloves and binoculars and
meet us at the main office at 3 or any time after to help out and show the
community that birders care about the local environment. There is room for one
more carpooling from Little Rock (contact me off-list for details).
FYI, in the two years the birder's register has been at the airport it has
received over 200 signatures (including repeats) from 23 states and 2 Canadian
provinces. May the list continue to grow and provide proof that birders were
there. Thanks to all who sign it. It also helps your fellow birders know what
birds have been seen recently.

I am posting this for some excellent birders from Columbus, Ohio who are
presently visiting Fairfield Bay. (Terry & Vicki Smith).
Yesterday while out birding down Hwy 330 they saw one bird that
was NOT one of the many Scissor-tails.
It matched every aspect of the Fork-tailed.
It was not seen today but we have the home owners all excited about
it and they are keeping all eyes out hoping it will return.
It was seen on the fence close to the mail box at 1187 Hwy. #330.=20
This is just a short way south of the junction of Hwy #16/Hwy. #330
several miles west of Fairfield Bay.
The homeowners don't mind if anyone wants to come look. They work
during the day but still say it's OK.
There is an elderly gentleman who lives across the road who is pretty
much confined to a wheel chair but he's really excited about having somethi=
ng
to look for so will be keeping a wary eye out.
He promised to call me if he spots it.
Please feel free to call me if you'd like any updated information or more
explicit information about the location. (501) 884-3502
