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 and also call the Arkansas rare bird hotline at 501-753-5853. To obtain current bird observations by other birders in the state sign-up for ARBIRD, a list server for bird reports.
