Winter Waterfowl at Lake Fayetteville's Mulhollan Blind - Saturday, November 28th, 2026
Northwest Arkansas Audubon Society will host a birding field trip to Lake Fayetteville on Saturday, November 28th, 2026, starting at 9:00 AM. The focus of this trip will be winter waterfowl (ducks, geese, grebes) that accumulate on the lake at this time of year. We will meet at the trailhead parking lot South of the Botanical Garden of the Ozarks and make our way along a forest trail to the Mulhollan Waterfowl Blind. We will enjoy the new blind’s excellent vantage point for discreetly surveying waterfowl on the lake. The walk to the blind and back will be approximately 1.25 miles on flat dirt trails and boardwalks with the trip lasting no more than 2 hours.

Fayetteville Christmas Bird Count - Sunday, December 20th, 2026
The 2026 Fayetteville Christmas Bird Count will be held on Sunday, December 20th. This all-day bird census involves a number of teams spreading out to survey different zones around Fayetteville. At the end of the day, we reunite to gather our data into one official report to be submitted to the National Audubon Society's database that stretches back a century. There are plenty of opportunities for new birders to join more experienced teams for some or all of the day. Interested in volunteering?
