As far as I know there is not a rufous hummingbird visiting Mt. Sequoyah in=
Fayetteville at this time. =C2=A0My hummer was last seen (sob, boo hoo hoo=
) on the morning of the 10th. =C2=A0Unless there has been another sighting =
reported on Mt, Sequoyah, the RBA posted today isn't correct. =C2=A0To my k=
nowledge the only rufous in the area is the handsome little male who is mak=
ing quite a splash and posing for photographs at the Johnson's feeder in Fa=

ton, AR 72730, 479-267-2554). Three merganser species tallied by different =
parties Hooded Mergansers were expected, but the two Red-Breasted Merganser=
s were a HUGE surprise, but not the first ones tallied on the count. They=
are not expected in northern Arkansas at this time of year. Common Mergans=
er has been found on 7 previous counts. One party found a Sora, not common=

Lake Lewis, who manages Overflow National Wildlife Refuge, called this morn=
ing to tell me they saw around 600 immature White Ibis yesterday. They were=
feeding in the northern part of the North Waterfowl Sanctuary. The water =
level at the refuge has started to drop exposing a muddy/grassy area. He sa=
id they were divided into 3 groups of around 200 each with a few Great Egre=
ts scattered among them.
Lake said that was the largest group of White Ibis he has ever seen in the =
refuge for December.
For more information you can contact Lake at 870-473-2869.
