I accompanied a group of students from the School for Advanced Studies in Rogers to the state fish hatchery in Centerton. They all got great looks at the Long-tailed Duck, a late Northern Pintail and many other birds. Swallows were also present in good numbers. This was Wednesday. The kids seemed to enjoy themselves and especially seemed to appreciate the rare treat that was the Long-tailed Duck.
We also met briefly with fish hatchery staff who taught the kids some about the hatchery. The big news from them though was that the hatchery will be undergoing a massive renovation and will be closed for quite some time. They expect this to start this fall. They will get new buildings and will be redoing the ponds as well. Better get your trips in while you can.
