Michael and I have looked for them the last few years with no results BUT we've seen eBird reports during this time from others indicating they're still there. Hopefully these folks will chime in. Patty

Donald and I looked about Christmas time, but alas! No luck.

I cannot add to the validity of the continued existence of the

improve the habitat on Mt Magazine for this bird. Many of those that religiously
looked for this bird on an annual basis are now retired or gone. Is there anyone
else taking their place?

Subject: Are Rufous-crowned Sparrows extirpated in
Arkansas?
Greetings Ornithologists,Someone reviewing range maps for the next
update of Nat Geo field guides recently asked me if Rufous-crowned Sparrows are
extirpated from Arkansas. I told them that there hadn't been a confirmed eBird
report since the Fall of 2020 but that I couldn't say for sure if they were
truly extirpated. Since 2020 is fairly recent in the grand scheme of things,
they decided to leave the little purple dot over Mount Magazine for now. Still,
I'm curious what others think about this question...Do we believe there
are still Rufous-crowned Sparrows somewhere up there on the mountain? If not, do
we understand why they left? Would you consider them extirpated from
Arkansas?Thoughts appreciated,-Taylor Long
