More birding in lower Arkansas Valley


Yesterday, Friday, the winds had increased significantly. So I went next door (one of the advantages for birders, the Blue Spruce Motel is located just a few hundred feet from the "Lamar Woods", a major birding area in town that is located directly behind Lamar Jr College) to look for Monarch butterflies in a sheltered area in the woods. I was rewarded with several Monarch's that were taking advantage of the calm winds inside the north end of the woods. The photo is one of those I enjoyed.
I was surprised to see 2 Ruby-crowned Kinglets also flitting about in this protected area of the Lamar Woods. They are always moving and this area is fairly shady, so I was pleased to get this photo.
