Does anyone know if the Yellow-headed Blackbirds are still at Lollie Bottoms?
I will be in Little Rock mid week and need one more species for my Arkansas list
to catch up with DeLynn.

Jack et al,
According to the Arkansas Birder RBA page :-) the last report was on
5/24/08. Dottie and Doris saw one female Yellow-headed Blackbird at
the location indicated on the RBA map.

Thanks Dennis,
Yes, I saw that report and since it is rather old I wouldn't call it a a go:-).
Herschel commented that the habitat wasn't good for breeding, but if they are
still around it might be worth a real search.

Subject: Pine Siskin
From: Sherry Stansbery <greatblu(AT)SOUTHSHORE.COM>
Date: 2 Jun 2008 11:06am
We were out of town from May 16-19 and when we returned all the
wonderful rose-breasted grosbeaks, Baltimore orioles and pine siskins
were gone even though there was still seed left. This morning I went
out on the back porch to have a cup of coffee and think about the day
ahead when a pine siskin landed on the porch railing and sat there
for at least 5 minutes eating the sunflower seeds that Ted had put on
the banister. I really haven't had much time to spend birding the
past few weeks so the siskin could have been here all that time and I
just overlooked it. Anyway......I am very glad it is still hear and
hope it spends the summer with us. I also have been hearing a wood
thrush early in the morning for the past week. They have the most
beautiful song and that's a wonderful way to start the day!

For those of you who submit spring records for inclusion in the AAS
database (this is not the same as ebird), I wish to remind you that the
spring season (March, April, May) is due now. These records should be
posted using the online record form created by Lyndal York, available on
the AAS website. Before typing in records PLEASE read his instructions
carefully and try to avoid the typing errors/issues that foul up how your
typing goes into the database--careless typing makes more work for everyone
and could compromise your record. After you type in your data, please read
it over carefully before you submit. Thanks!

This morning at Bald Knob NWR, Kenny's American Avocet was still west of the
grain bins. The only other shorebirds I saw were Killdeer and BN Stilts.
At Treadway's Fish Farm I saw a late Dunlin, a very late Eared Grebe, and a
Black Tern. In one pond there were several lingering ducks including:
Gadwall, Ruddy, Lesser Scaup, Ring-necked, Shoveler, and Canvsback. Several
White-rumps and Semi-sands, with some Pecs and Leasts mixed in as well.
I also saw a Red-winged Blackbird.
Good birding!

On our walk around the neighborhood yesterday Skip and I had a fly-
over flock of Cattle Egrets. This was the second flock in recent days.
The difference yesterday was that the flock was higher and we were
closer to home. Skip and I made a run for it and got to our yard
barely in time to add yard bird #112.

We still have quite a few goldfinches at our feeders, both male and
female. We have them here year-round. We must have had several
nests of nuthatches fledge in the past few days. We have them
everywhere, zooming here and there in pairs and triples, zipping here
and there. Must be at least a dozen and a half to two dozen!

I didn't think about listing it at the time but I had a Pine Siskin last week
too. I took it's photo because I thought it was something else. I had a lone
American Goldfinch male yesterday.
My feeders have been attracting a lot of Woodpeckers lately, I had a Flicker on
the seed tube the other day. First time I've seen one on a feeder. Jacque

The DOBC members will sponsor a field trip for ALL interested birders this
coming Saturday, June 7, 2008.
We'll meet at 7 AM (while the weather is still cool) at the Harrison Middle
School parking lot located on Goblin Drive here in Harrison. We'll bird
Baker Prairie, then make our "usual" loop in Boone Co. It would be a mostly
grassland bird trip and over by noon, if not before.
Target birds are Willow Flycatcher and Grasshopper Sparrows. Vern Human
spotted 2 Willow Flycatchers on the prairie during the IMBD in May.

There is a Great-crested Flycatcher nesting in our Martin house again- same
apartment as last year. The nasty House Sparrows are not in the house this
year, so the Flycatchers may have an easier time of it. I did see one of our
female Downeys feeding a male on the suet tree, and a Brown Thrasher feeding
a youngster, so we do have babies fledged. I'll miss the variety of
migration, but nesting season has its rewards.
After yesterday's really strong blow we found a small nest down in our
neighbor's yard. Must be something of nuthatch size. I searched and found
no eggs or young. I'm not good at nests, so will bring it to the next ASCA
meeting for ID. Craig put it on our arbour, but there has been no interest
in it, so maybe (hopefully) it was deserted.
We also had a scene yesterday reminiscent of the long grocery lines that we
have when there is a warning of bad weather around here: Right after the
strong winds, five (count 'em, five) woodpeckers were on my suet tree at the
same time: four Downeys (two male and two female) and one red Bellied male,
all knocking back the suet as fast as they could. And a N. Flicker came
soon after. Krogers when there is a snow forecast, is what it was!

Goldfinches don't hang around Little Rock this late? Or just Pine Siskins?
I ask because we routinely have Goldfinches throughout the year and thought that
was normal. . .
