I actually lived at Hogscald back in the early 80's. Many of us walked to the springs on a regular basis. I have super wonderful memories but never birded there. Now I plan to check it out!

Art,I must have missed your email the first time around when you sent it, but found it when I was searching old emails for birders in Carroll County. Hogscald Holler is a special place for me, long before I ever started birding: it was where my dad taught me to swim back in the mid 1970s, and then the place in the summer of 1998 I went on my first outing with my future wife sitting around a little campfire on a small bluff one night late after work. Birding Carroll County has given me a chance to retrace some of my favorite places that I know like the back of my hand, as I re-imagine my home country now by discovering the amazing birds that were always there but had existed beyond my powers of perception. Finding your email these three years after you wrote it shows me that there is someone else who finds joy in uncovering the hidden treasures around us. Thank you for sharing your discoveries.

I was pleasantly shocked to get a long look at a Canada Warbler this morning. The necklace and gray back were quite clear. I was on CR 148 which is about 6 miles south of Eureka Springs off Hwy 23. This road dips down into a low area with a creek running eventually into the end of the big Clifty arm of Beaver lake, an area commonly referred to as Hogscald. I’ve had wonderful luck seeing warblers along this road for years. In addition to the Canada I also had 3 Kentucky’s, a Northern Parula and a Hooded warbler.
Although I couldn’t find them this morning I also often see Blue-winged warblers, Louisiana Waterthrushes and Ovenbirds along this road as well.
