bird list southern arkansas april 11-17, 2004
2004-04-18 - 5:07 p.m.
I'm back. Big news later. For now, here's my bird list from my
recent trip to southern Arkansas, including my life bird, the
Eastern Screech Owl. I know, it seems funny, since I've seen so many
rehabbed Eastern Screech Owls, as well as Western and Whiskered
Screech Owl. But, finally, I have now heard and seen the
not-really-all-that-uncommon Eastern Screech up-close and
personal in the wild. That story, too,
will come a little later. It was a bit too late for
winter birds, a bit too early for migrants, but we got a
respectable list anyway without pushing things too much.
