Subject: Chesney Field Trip reminder
From: Joan Reynolds <joanreynolds(AT)GMAIL.COM>
Date: 23 May 2008 8:32am
----INCLUDING text/plain MIME SECTION----
Hello, fellow birders,
You are invited to join the Northwest Arkansas Audubon Society on a
field trip at* 8:00 a.m. Saturday, May 24, 2008* at the Chesney Prairie
Natural Area near Siloam Springs. Chesney Prairie is one of the last
remnants of native prairie in our area replete with native tallgrasses,
wildflowers, Mima mounds, and wildlife. We should see plenty of birds
including beautiful spring migrants. There will be lots of native
wildflowers blooming and we will be checking those out as well! Our guide
on the prairie will be Joe Woolbright, curator of CPNA. We will be walking
the mowed paths through the prairie on mostly level land.
To get there from I-540 take Hwy 412 West to near the Siloam Springs city
limits. At the intersection of 412 & 59, turn North onto 59, approximately 1
mile past the airport take Bill Young Road East about 0.8 miles. At this
point there is a gravel farm road going North; go approximately 0.5 miles
North on this road to its end and there you will see the entrance sign to
the Chesney Prairie Natural Area where we will meet.
If you have any questions, email joanreynolds(AT)gmail.com.

Does anyone have experience in or knowledge of live video cameras ?
I'm interested in knowing what it would take to set one up and run it in
a very remote location.
We have experience in using a video camera in such a setting, but don't
know what it takes to do this "live".
If so, please email me at krowe(AT)agfc.state.ar.us or call my cell at
870-672-2279.
Thanks,

Subject: Skip's Morning Mourning
From: Dennis Braddy <dmbraddy(AT)MAC.COM>
Date: 23 May 2008 10:18am
All three of us tried for and missed the Allsopp Park Mourning Warbler
9 days ago. Pat got her lifer the next day at Craighead Forest Park
(2.5 hour drive). I got my Mourning Warbler for the year 2 days after
that on Buffalo Road (2.2 hour drive). Skip was the odd man, er dog,
out. But he was patient and got his life Mourning Warbler today on the
main trail at Two Rivers Park (15 minute drive) a third of the way
down the long straight stretch through the trees. To tell the truth
Skip seemed more interested in an Armadillo-sized clump of trailside
vegetation than the warbler.

I can't believe they're trimming the tree limbs at this time of year!
Two nest sites were lost on our block. Eastern Kingbird and Cardinal.

Welcome to the Arkansas Rare Bird Alert for May 22, 2008, sponsored by the
Audubon Society of Central Arkansas (ASCA). ASCA meets at 7:00pm the second
Thursday of each month at the John Gould Fletcher Library, located at 823
Buchanan St. on the corner of Buchanan and H Streets in Little Rock.
Spring migrants are being seen throughout the state—keep your eyes and ears
open!
From around the state recent sightings are:
At Craighead Forest Park in Jonesboro an ALDER FLYCATCHER and an OLIVE-SIDED
FLYCATCHER were present.
In Northwest Arkansas, a Western Kingbird was outside of Brentwood, on county
road 4146. It was on private property and thus not chaseable, but be alert that
this bird is a possibility.
Red-necked Phalarope was seen in Phillips Co. Directions are: Take Hwy 20 South
from Helena, then turn Left (East) on 20S. Turn right (South) onto the MS river
levee. Just past the barge loading station is a muddy field on you left.
The Yellow-headed Blackbirds are still being seen at Lollie Bottoms in Faulkner
County. Faulkner county also has a lingering flat on Highway 65 north of
Conway. Recently observed there are: Stilt Sandpipers (nearly full colors,
lovely in the scope), Wilson's Phalarope (several females, the third record week
for this bird), Dunlin (now in impressive black-bellied, red-backed colors),
White-rumped Sandpipers (rare in this county), Semipalmated Sandpipers (in one
group), Pectoral Sandpipers, Lesser Yellowlegs, Solitary Sandpiper, Spotted
Sandpiper, Least Sandpipers, Killdeer, and Blue-winged Teal (a late record for
here).
In Little Rock, Black terns were seen at the west end of Lake Maumelle, close to
the Hwy. 10 bridge and park area. Black terns were seen at the west end of
Lake Maumelle today, close to the Hwy. 10 bridge and park area.
Red Crossbills are reported 4.0 miles west along Buffalo Creek Road from the
intersection of AR-71 and AR-28 (7 miles south of Waldron, Arkansas).
At Erbie along the Buffalo National River 68 species seen included the following
highlights: Black-billed Cuckoo, Mourning Warbler, Canada Warbler, and
Olive-sided Flycatcher.
Prairie Warbler and Blue-winged Warbler seem to be on
territory in the usual spots.
Thanks for calling the Arkansas Rare Bird Alert. Your contributions make the
Rare Bird Alert possible. If you would like to leave a message, please wait for
the chirp. Good Birding!

There were three Yellow-headed Blackbirds still at Lollie yesterday. (Or
Yaller Hayeds as we call them in Arkansas.) Two males and a female.
The shorebird field has nearly dried. About 300 birds there yesterday.
Now no doubt lower. Stilt Sandpipers were gone and the Pharalopes had
cleared out.

Friends,
Yesterday I saw and photoed 14 Black-necked Stilts in Lonoke County. I =
believe at least four of them were nesting on the ground in the middle =
of a rice field. Does any one know if that is the way they nest? And is =
there a history of them nesting here. It was a long way off and I cant =
be sure they were sitting on a nest, it may have been an unusual clump =
of vegetation. Even from my enlarged photos it is difficult to tell, =
but other Stlits were closer to me and they were behaving like they were =
alarmed by my presence. Peace and Birds Jerry
