Michael and i went looking for Brian's Ferruginous Hawk today with no luck. However we did find a beautiful Krider's Red-tailed along U.S. 11 near the airport and the Say's Phoebe reported earlier. They Say's was feeding along the fence, approx here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/NNTbQCvBvn7QHMNLAPatty McLean and Michael Linz The Roadrunners

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.
