Rare birds are those birds observed in your local area that are not normally seen during a given time period or have not been observed in the area with few exceptions, i.e., out of place or out of season. To determine if either condition holds for the bird you observed, consult the Arkansas Audubon Society’s Field List. Please report your “rare” bird to www.arbirds.org .
You can consult the Notable Birds list to the left to see what unusual birds have been reported to Ebird in the last week.
