I didn’t find this bird, I didn’t even find it today. Someone else first reported it on Thursday but Sunday was my first chance to chase it. With the Sun where it was, the little rare visitor to Arkansas is almost the same color as the mud so my hat is off to those who spotted it.
Green Heron
This guy was looking for breakfast this morning. I guess he was hungry enough that he didn’t fly off after looking at me.
Big Bluet – First State Record in Arkansas
I posted this picture about a week ago under the mistaken identification of Double-striped Bluet. My friend David Arbour recognized it instead as a Big Bluet. What is significant about that is there has never been a reported sighting of a Big Bluet in Arkansas. Thanks to David who sent the picture to several experts and submitted it to OdonataCentral, this picture has been accepted as the first state record for a Big Bluet damselfly in Arkansas.
