Local Birdwatchers
Using the Birdingpal resources you must agree to the following: If you contact a local Birdingpal and make arrangement to go birding, you should note it is common courtesy to make sure you show up for the appointment. If for any reason you are unable to do this, the least you must do is contacting the local Pal right away. Please note that most Birdingpals are serious birdwatchers. It is a privilege to contact them, and your message should reflect it. A local Pal does not get paid, but should he/she offer to take you out birding, using their own vehicle, it would be courteous to pay for the fuel. A lunch and/or a small gift would also be appropriate, something as simple as a souvenir of your country, or a pin from your local birding club. _____________________________________________________________ We want to hear about your experiences with Birdingpals.

| I first became interested in serious birding when the IBWP was thought to have been photoed in East Arkansas, and have visited that area many time since. I have not seen the Ivory-billed (yet), but I have photographed 170 Arkansas bird species. I now live in Hot Springs AR, 50 miles west of Little Rock. That is in Garland County. Birding "Hot Spots" in my area and a bird I've seen at each place include Hot Springs National Park (Summer Tanager), Hulsey
Fish Hatchery (Stilt Sandpiper), Garvan Woodland Gardens (Red-headed Woodpeckers), Beaver Dam Trail in Hot Springs Village (Winter Wren), three large lakes [Oauchita (a Heron Rookery), Hamilton (Spotted Sandpipers)and Katherine [Yellow-throated Vireo}], and Gulpha Gorge (Louisiana Waterthrush) among others. I'm out of town a good bit, but when I'm in Garland County I go birding almost every day, and would enjoy your company. Once or twice a month I take day trips from Hot Springs to bird in
other parts of the state if I can get there and back on a tank of gas or less. On these trips I have seen nesting Black-neckd Stilts, Red-cockaded Woodpeckers, American Bittern, and once even a Black-legged Kittywake. I check the Arkansas Rare Bird List regularly and usually know where raraties are being seen in the state. Even if I'm out of town, I will be pleased to direct you to those locations via e-mail or phone if you want me to call. Week-days are usually better for me than weekends. Peace and Birds, J Butler | ||||||
