Saturday, March 15th, 2025 - Brown-headed Nuthatches at Shores Lake
The Northwest Arkansas Audubon Society will host a field trip to Shores Lake in the Ozark National Forest on Saturday, March 15, 2025, starting at 9:00 AM. This area features mature shortleaf pine habitat that's the best place in Northwest Arkansas to find our target species: Brown-headed Nuthatch. We'll enjoy all the fine birds this pine forest offers though, keeping a keen eye out for Red Crossbill which has been seen in this area in the past. Bill Beall, veteran birder from Ft. Smith will co-lead this trip. Meet at 9 AM at the Shores Lake picnic area entrance (GPS: 35.640199, -93.959962) on the west side of the lake. We'll bird around the lake and surrounding area for a couple hours. You are welcome to leave whenever you need.
Limited to 25 attendees. RSVP at trips@nwarkaudubon.org with the trip name, your name, and the number attending.
