Our Great-crested Flycatchers have what looks like one nestling left (two
died that we know of). It has come out on the porch. I hope that is not a
bad sign. The parents appear to be feeding it.

I was looking up a large yellowish domed turtle I found in the yard yesterday,
It was a box turtle with no markings on it. I didn't know they came that way.
The book said they eat poisonous mushrooms and the plains Indians would get
poisoned eating the turtle meat. I wonder if the same is true for mushroom
eating squirrels meat.
I have a new nest of Carolina Wrens in my rolled up tarp. I can see two have
hatched very recently. I'm happy to see this because it could be the same pair
that abandoned their 7 eggs earlier this spring. Jacque

Dear ARBIRDers,
It sure is noisy here this morning. Three red-shouldered hawks that
all appear to be juveniles are perched on one branch of a snag white
oak about 100 feet away and just above eye level from where I'm typing
this in my upstairs home office. They have been vocalizing constantly
and preening about as much.
We did get a few pictures as I thought it a rare opportunity to have
three red-shouldered hawks so close together and in the open enough to
see them all quite well.
I can just barely make out what they are saying: "Finally, some rain
after two weeks of dry weather."
From the deep woods just west of Little Rock,
Barry Haas
P.S. My deep thanks to Ken Smith of Audubon Arkansas and Glen Hooks
of the Sierra Club for their efforts to get CO2 removed from the
exempt list of air pollutants. While the effort failed this time,
science and time is on their, and our, side. Yesterday morning the
Arkansas Pollution Control & Ecology Commission voted unanimously to
maintain the CO2 exemption. Who says we humans have brains and the
ability to reason and think?

well - I've never gotten sick or hallucinagenic from eating a squirrel, but
then, I've only eaten those taken during non-mushroom season, so I guess its out
of
their system by then.
Still - it was kind of fascinating to discover and observe that they would eat a
mushroom.
Thanks - I'm going to have to watch for one of those freak box turtles - sounds
like it may have been an albino.

Subject: Painted Bnumting East of Cook's Landing
From: Craig Provost <craig-daleprovost(AT)SBCGLOBAL.NET>

This afternoon Dale and I biked the River Trail [the ENTIRE River Trail-
dcp]. East of Cook's Landing and just East of the 6.25 mile marker, we saw
a Painted Bunting by some wild plums. We thought we heard two of them, but
one was in plain sight and very close. This was less than 1 Mile West of
the Burns Park side of the Trail.
I had not noticed anyone reporting one there before.
Craig and Dale Provost,
Little Rock, AR
