Three New Birds This Weekend

Saturday I went bird watching with a local group from Erbie, AR. We hiked around the Erbie campground (located on the Buffalo National River) and saw a lot of good birds (44 total). Two were new for me for the year, including the Field Sparrow (# 164) and the Prairie Warbler (# 165).



During our hiking we also came across this small Copperhead Snake.



Sunday Brandon and I found a Grasshopper Sparrow at Woolsey Wet Prairie, that makes 166 species for the year. Only 34 more to go!

Soon we'll be off to Bermuda!
