From around the state recent sightings are:

pond across from the white building as you enter the front gate.
The SCOTT'S ORIOLE has returned to Peggy Roberson’s feeder in Benton. Her

street at 308 W. Narroway St. in Benton. Directions: From I-30 take Exit 117
into Benton. You'll be on Carpenter St. Go up the hill to a stop light at
the
intersection with Market St. Turn right on Market St. Then turn right on
