Greetings Birders,
This Spring, the Northwest Arkansas Audubon Society is trying something
new: we're introducing the Spring Migration Bird Walk Series at Lake
Fayetteville — casual, drop-in morning walks led by local birders at one
of the best all-around birding hotspots in NWA. We'll be meeting every
Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday from April 29 through May 17 to catch the
peak of spring migration as warblers and other travelers pass through.
Meet us at the North Shore Disc Golf Course parking lot (GPS: 36.13853,
-94.13505 <https://maps.app.goo.gl/qpuGfmXVB5GDHTxG9>) at 6:30 AM — no
registration, no experience needed, just bring your binoculars and a
sense of curiosity. We'd love to see you out there!
Route: The walks will generally be a slow 1-2 mile ramble on uneven dirt
paths and mowed fields. The group will always head East from the parking
lot via the tree line along the North side of the lake. Depending on
timing and activity, we usually make it to somewhere near the ONSC
Environmental Center before turning back towards the parking lot.
Drop in and out: If you arrive late, it should be pretty easy to connect
with the group by following the shoreline trees East and looking for
folks with binoculars. We’ll aim to return the parking lot by 8:30 AM by
you can always leave earlier (or stay later) if desired.

on the checklist, please share your email address or eBird username with
the leader before you depart. Each checklist from this series will be
summarized into an eBird Trip Report:
