I hope everyone is finding some fun migrants! Over the last week, Michael and I have seen several delights. Blackpoll, Palm, Prairie, Tennessee, Redstart, Nashville, Kentucky, Chestnut-sided, Wilson's, Blue-winged, Golden-winged and Yellow Warbler...plus both Waterthrushes.. Also OVENBIRDs, CANADA and a handsome male MOURNING WARBLER. Vireos have included Warbling, Philadelphia, Blue-headed, Yellow-throated, White-eyed and Red-eyed.Flycatchers are growing in number and we had nice open views of a very cooperative Acadian Flycatcher, which are more often heard than seen.Swainson's and Gray-cheeked Thrush and a Veery. Most of these were at two separate locations: Bell Slough WMA--Grassy Lake Road (Faulkner Cnty) and Mingo Creek Rd (White Cnty) except for the Veery, which was in the Ft Smith area during the AAS convention.Location information:Bell https://birdinghotspots.org/hotspot/L11324398MingoÂhttps://birdinghotspots.org/hotspot/L30709342Hope all have a chance to get out and see some of these lovely birds. The Roadrunners Patty McLean and Michael LinzÂ
