On the 7th or 8th of August, a predator believed to be a hawk or owl caught the incubating bird and destroyed the nest. Later on Aug 8th, four birds were seen, fide Floyd Fullerton; so at least 5 birds were there at one time. Second record for AR. 1st nesting. |

In my first observation, I clearly saw the two broad white terminal bands on each side of the tail. In my second observation, I could tell only that I was looking at a couple of doves. |

Saw without aid of binoculars about 15 feet from back porch. Obvious white stripe on wings when sitting. It flew to the wires above feeder allowing me to see the black wings and striking coloring of the tail. I could also see the blue line in the eye area. No spots on back like the sitting Mourning Dove. It also sat on top of my wooden bird feeder. I've never seen a M. Dove do that. It was a beauty!! |

4 adult. Birds were observed walking around gravel shoulder of highway. Rare local resident; unusual in SE Arkansas. These birds were observed foraging (or collecting grit) on the gravel shoulder along Hwy 165 in Wilmot. When closely approached by vehicle the birds did not readily flush, permitting close observation. When they did fly (to a nearby tree) the rufous color in the wings was obvious. Overall the birds were gray in color with distinctive black "scaling" throughout the plumage. Clear, identifiable photographs were taken of one of the birds. |

December 28, 2000 thru July 17, 2001. In February 3 birds were under my feeders. One of them seemed smaller and I assumed it to be female since one of the remainig birds seemed to try to drive the other one away by making short hopping flights toward it. I have observed this behavior on two other occasions. The birds are regular if not daily visitors to my back yard. I saw two birds just this morning. |

Ringed Turtle Dove? Eurasian Collared Dove? Afternoon after a front, low pressure, misty, cloudy. Paul and Wanda Franklin, residents of Harrison, reported to JoAnne Rife..(actually Mrs. Franklin called the Arkansas Game and Fish Comission and reported to someone named "Wanda"...I fond out about this bird at the beauty shop.) J.A.R. The Franklins used the Robbins guide to identify this bird as a Ringed Turtle Dove. Since we had had a previous record in Harrison (about 1 mile south of this location) of a Eurasian Collared Dove, the exact species remains unknown but it seems worthy of reporting. Appeared under similar circumstances - spring storm - etc - |

1 adult. Very uncommon to rare in Northwest. This bird had the relatively narrow white tips to the tail feathers that is characteristic of this species. Despite getting quite close (wintin 30 ft.) no eyering could be discerned. The bill was mainly blackish, but was somewhat paler at the base of the lower mandible. Otherwise the bird was brownish above, whitish below. |

1 adult. When we first heard the bird call, we all "froze" at the sound, because we realized that it was not a yellow-billed cuckoo. We then knew it was a black-billed cuckoo. We went nearer and played the Stokes version of bird calls of the black-billed cuckoo. It came out to investigate and became very agitated. It was darker overall than a yellow-billed. One observer noted the red orbital eye ring. Note: We made another trip to Mt. Magazine today (June 16, 2001). We went back to the same area that we observed the black-billed. We did not hear any calls. So we played the Stokes version of the black-billed, hoping to call it out. But it never responded. Other Observers: Steve Shedell, Samra Shedell, Joann Bodkin. |

When I heard the 2-3 notes of the song, with an occasional 6+ notes fast, I was pretty sure it was a Black-Billed. Finally saw the bird flying, but not the bill. Noted the dimm underside, and no rufous in the wings. When I got back to the office I reviewed the bird in Nat. Geographic, and birding by ear tapes, to confirm my initial impression. This bird was flying from corner to corner, as if it was defending a territory. |

1 (1st fall) The species is a rare migrant, especially in autumn, in the Northwest. The presence of a juvenile at this early date suggests the possibility of local nesting. The tail did not seem emarginate. Perhaps this was due to lack of contrast on the undertail: it looked uniformly brownish with a very small pale tip to the central tail feathers. Dorsally, the tail was almost entirely brown with very small white edgings on some rectrices. The primaries were more rusty than the rest of the wing. The bill was mainly black on the upper mandible and black on the distal half of the lower. The base of the upper and the proximal half of the lower mandible were grayish, contrasting sharply with the blackish parts. The eyering was yellow. Otherwise, it was brownish above and whitish below. |

All spring, it would look into windows with a lizard offering, then call from my roof. It appeared to be looking for a mate, but it never found any. It even tried to court my cat, but she isn't interested. |

3 adults and 5 fledglings. Mary lives at this location; she has watched courtship behavior of a pair, seen a pair with two babies and a pair with three babies..never has seen more than three adults together..has seen 5 babies, at one time. Evidence of breeding, near a plot that is being screened by Adam Hintertheur and some other Boy Scouts. This location is at a rocky, and lightly wooded, area just where the base of the mountain joins the Crooked Creek Valley on the upper level...(not all the way down into the immediate creek level). I believe Mary said she saw these near their chickens; roadrunners eat at feeders. This is the first time I've had anyone tell me about Roadrunner babies..likely I never tried to find out. Theory: Did Roadrunners extend range into NW Ark. with chicken industry?? I have had more than one tell me Roadrunners eat at chicken feeders. JoAnne Rife |

A gurad reported these to us. He and other guards had seen them for some time. We were invited in to try to see them and it took about 2 1/2 hours of walking around before we happened upon them. We found lots of evidence that pointed to where their favorite places to roost were. At the last report they were still there but the plant will probably reopen in the near future. |

sight record. We located the seven Short-eared Owls on the north end of the main runway. The grass in the field they were in was no more than 12 inches high and the area was no more than 1 1/2 to 2 acres. We were surprised to see them in such short grass. A great deal of the farm land was flooded in the surrounding area. Could this have caused the heavy congregation of owls in less than ideal habitat? |

sight record. This bird was flushed from a grassy field just west of the golf course. As I had previously flushed several harriers from this field that day, my first impression was that this bird was also a harrier. However it lacked the contrasting white rump ofa harrier. As it flew away I noticed that its head seemed somewhat large for a harrier and it had a contrasting light brown patch on its upper primaries, visible as it circled, just before it landed in the grass. This species is very rare in northwest AR. It was last reported in this part of AR in 1987. |

The owl was brought to a woman by her dog. It had internal injuries and a broken wing. The woman called Wayne Bomar of the AR Game & Fish Comm. He told David Long who called Karen Yaich. The owl was given to a bird rehabilitator in Jonesboro, Heath Garner, but it died that same nite. This owl had been banded by W.N. Grigg near Stonington, MI, in upper peninsula on 10-9-90, where it had been caught in a mist net along with approx. 40 Saw-whets the same nite as the birds were in migration. This owl had hatched in 1989 or earlier. As of Nov., 92 Karen Yaich had this owl in her freezer. Garner has photos (Licensed Fed. Rehabilitator). |

Numerous moths were in flight. Wings long & pointed with white slash across primaries. Tail slightly forked. Deep wing beats, sometimes shifting gears to slower or faster rates. Lance has seen Lesser Night-hawk & thinks that species is not involved in this sighting. Latest fall record ever for AR. Heard calling later (see document). Ver. Doc. #825. |

This species is not normally seen after Nov. 7 in AR according to the 1998 AAS Field List. This is almost a month later than any other record for northwest AR. The bird was seen briefly as it flew just above the treetops. The white marks on the primaries, the "crooked", pointed wings and generally dark coloration separate it from most other birds. However other nighthawk species (though these have never been recorded in AR) were not eliminated. |

roost |
Douglas James |
Communal roosting. Daily cold and rainy weather last week of May caused drop in flying insect food supply. Swifts returned to communal roosting in large chimneys in town (migration & post-breeding behavior) presumably abandoning nests in scattered small chimneys. (But birds did stay in my chimney.) Communal roosting ceased when fair weather returned. |

We tried to tke pictures of it. Joan's grandson, Taos Jones, took the picture with a video camera. I will send it separately. (He may have already sent it to you.)

September 4, 5, 2000, continuing. To my knowlege this is the first record for Boone County, although likely not the first occurrence!! The body of this bird is noticeably more "chubby" than the RT's. Back is not completely rufous but has at least half rufous, paler wash on the lower sides as in the left-hand picture in National Geographic. [I] strongly feel it is Rufous Hummingbird based on probability and on amount of rufous color on top of head and lower back. Male, likely immature but fairly well colored, gorget not complete but relatively solid. Saw in good light with deep burnt orange color. Plumage transitional. I read Kenn Kaufman's Advanced Birding on Selasphorus. Martha concurs strongly with my thoughts. We understand the dangers of identifying between Rufous and Allen's. [This bird was at] home of Paul and Wanda Franklin, approximately 100 yards from eastern edge of existing Baker Prairie. Backyard has many hummingbird-attracting flowers, a feeder kept filled, and 20+ Ruby-throated Hummingbirds that have been blitzing the feeder for some time. "More hummingbirds than we have ever had, fill the quart size feeeder at least once a day. Using 3:1 ratio." |

January 12 thru at least February 2, 2002. At the home of Wanda and O'Neal Ridings. Photos. Rare visitor. We think that this bird was an immature female Rufous Hummer due to the back color (green), flank color (peachy), very limited flecking on the throat and a lot of orange in the tail. The outer retrix also looked very wide and thus probably eliminating Allen's Hummer. |
