Good evening, AR Birders!
I wanted to share a report from our Lonoke Christmas Bird Count today. While birding with Ari Remmel, we found a VERMILION FLYCATCHER in Lonoke County. This individual was an adult male in full red plumage. The bird was found on a fence line between Mount Zion Baptist Church and a cow field along Pettus Rd., approximately here: 34.68980° N, 91.92759° W. Other birders in the area found the bird continuing through early afternoon today.
Good luck if you decide to chase it, and happy CBC season!
