I joined friends from the Central Arkansas Astronomical Society to observe this partial solar eclipse from the soccer fields on Highway 300.

The Audubon Society of Central Arkansas visited Frog Bayou Saturday. We saw plenty of good bird, Merlin, Laughing Gull, Sora. I managed to get a few butterflies too. Click for a larger image.

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.
