White-eyed Vireo (Russenberger Road)
This past Saturday, I participated in my first Christmas Bird Count held in Little Rock. It was pretty fun, and awesome in the fact that I got paired with one of the state’s best birders. I also visited some birding areas that I’ve never been to before. We found 59 different species in the eastern section of Little Rock that included the Arkansas Audubon Center and the nearby Gilliam Park. Here’s a few of the birds we saw:
Winter Wren (Fourche Bottoms – Borrow Ponds)
House Wren (Arkansas Audubon Center)
Pileated Woodpecker, American Kestrel (Russenberger Road)
Brown-headed Nuthatch (Russenberger Road)
Orange-crowned Warbler (Benny Craig Park)
Tufted Titmouse (Russenberger Road)
Swamp Sparrow (Russenberger Road)
Pine Warbler (Fourche Bottoms – Borrow Ponds)
Eastern Towhee (Russenberger Road)
Green-winged Teal (Fourche Bottoms – Borrow Ponds)
Eastern Bluebird, Pine Warbler (Russenberger Road)
Double-crested Cormorant (Fourche Bottoms – Borrow Ponds)
