NEW WEBSITE HELPS BIRDERS IDENTIFY ARKANSAS BIRDS
Audubon Arkansas and Arkansas Game and Fish Commission have developed a web site that allows users to see, hear, and identify 100 birds commonly found in Arkansas. The URL is www.birdsofarkansas.org. This is the first web site devoted exclusively to identifying Arkansas's birds. A species' color, size, voice, habitat preferences, and season found in the state are provided along with a description of the bird and an interesting fact. To help beginners find a bird they saw outside, the list of birds can be sorted by season, color, habitat or size. The site also lists additional web sites and books where browsers can find more information about Arkansas's birds and bird watching. This site was made possible by State Wildlife Grant Program funds from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Audubon's mission is to conserve and restore natural ecosystems, focusing on birds, other wildlife, and their habitats for the benefit of humanity and the earth's biological diversity.
Arkansas Game and Fish Commission is the state's wildlife management agency. Our mission is to wisely manage all the fish and wildlife resources of Arkansas while providing maximum enjoyment for the people.
