After visiting Lake Maumelle on Saturday morning to see the Clark's Grebe and loons (that Grebe and the Pacific and Red-throated loons were all lifers for me) I decided to head to the Stuttgart Airport for the 1st time. I struck out on any Longspurs or Pipits but did see my 1st ever Ferruginous Hawk! Ebird checklist attached with photos. I was not sure what it was since I had never see one but I did think it was different so got some photos and posted them on INaturalist. Those fine folks helped me ID it as a Ferruginous. So it turned out to be a 4 lifer day, Yippee!
Thanks to Karen Holliday for your help regarding directions to Stuttgart.
