demonstration.
All trips are open to the public. Birders of all experience levels are
welcome. You do not have to be an ASCA member to attend. People may leave a
trip at any time.

*May 2: Banding Demo at Gillam Park*
*Meet: *7 a.m. at Gillam Park (far parking lot)
Spring migration will be underway, offering a chance to see many species,
including warblers.
Kevin Krajcir, conservation biologist with the Arkansas Natural Heritage
Commission, will also demonstrate bird banding. He will explain how banding
works and why it is important. Bird banding will be weather-dependent.
There will be moderate walking on mostly level trails, which may be muddy.
After Gillam Park, the group will visit the Little Rock Audubon Center,
Industrial Harbor Road, and Terry Lock and Dam. The trip may last into
early afternoon.
