Birders and other wildlife-watching enthusiasts have a great new way to participate in outdoor recreation, thanks to the creation of a special Natural State-specific online gateway to Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology’s eBird birdwatching system.<\/p>\n
Watchable wildlife includes a wide array of state animals, some as common as a familiar bird at a backyard feeder. Others may pass briefly through Arkansas on seasonal migrations. And, some rarely seen species may reward the dedicated viewer after hours of patient waiting and watching.<\/p>\n
Watchable wildlife also describes an increasingly popular pursuit for many residents. Wildlife viewing is a pastime that can be enjoyed in any season, in any corner of the state, by any age group. Special equipment is not required; wildlife watchers need to come equipped only with a sense of appreciation for the state’s living resources and the knowledge of where to look for them.<\/p>\n
Did you know that wildlife viewing has become one of the fastest-growing outdoor activities in the nation?<\/p>\n
Birders and other wildlife-watching enthusiasts have a great new way to participate in outdoor recreation, thanks to the creation of a special Natural State-specific online gateway to Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology’s eBird birdwatching system.<\/p>\n
According to Karen Rowe, AGFC nongame bird program coordinator, the eBird tool has been available for years, but the new portal gives birders a more customized way to learn more about and participate in birding. “eBird was initiated to help the public get more enjoyment out of their bird-watching efforts,” Rowe said.<\/p>\n
Most deer and duck hunters enjoy watching nongame birds during long sits or lulls in the action,” Rowe said. “I often say they’re just birders until a deer or duck finally shows up. This new tool may be a great way for them to have some added enjoyment in the woods, too.” Learn more about the eBird program at ebird.org\/ar\/home<\/a>.
