- **Event Name**: Brown-headed Nuthatches at Shores Lake (RSVP by email)
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 14 Mar, 2026 at 09:00 am – Sat, 14 Mar, 2026 at 11:00 am
- **Event Description**: The Northwest Arkansas Audubon Society will host a field trip to Shores Lake in the Ozark National Forest on Saturday, March 14, 2026, starting at 9:00 AM. This area features mature shortleaf pine habitat that’s the best place in Northwest Arkansas to find our target species: [Brown-headed Nuthatch](https://ebird.org/species/bnhnut/US-AR). We’ll enjoy all the fine birds this pine forest offers though, keeping a keen eye out for the early spring migrants like Black-and-white Warbler and Northern Parula. Bill Beall, veteran birder from Ft. Smith will co-lead this trip. Meet at 9 AM at the Shores Lake picnic area entrance (GPS: 35.640199, -93.959962) on the west side of the lake. We’ll bird around the lake and surrounding area for a couple hours. You are welcome to leave whenever you need. 

For those who want to keep birding in the afternoon, Bill Beall will lead us down to Frog Bayou WMA (near Alma, AR) to explore the ponds, river, and agricultural fields in the valley. This time of year can be good for early shorebird arrivals like American Golden-Plover.
