Hi folks. A report with documentary photos of an adult LONG-TAILED JAEGER was submitted to the Arkansas Bird Records Committee and unanimously approved today.
The bird was seen at Bald Knob NWR yesterday evening in one of the last two "wet" cells on Huntsman Rd (which we refer to as Cells 4 and 5). See the link below for this location.
This is the first White County record. Several birders were at the refuge this morning but did not report seeing it.
All other records (just three) are from Millwood Lake in Hempstead County, with the most recent report from Sept 2000.
Karen Holliday is leading a field trip through the refuge this Saturday, Aug 23, on behalf of the Audubon Society of Central Arkansas. The trip is free and open to the public. Click here for information on this hotspot: https://birdinghotspots.org/hotspot/L218758 Patty McLean Conway AR
