JamesUniversity of ArkansasThe accompanying chart, based on a greater accumulationof information about Arkansas birds than has been compiledpreviously, shows the seasonal occurrences of the birds that havebeen recorded from the time the first naturalist visited the statein 1811, through 1963. Not only does it include informationfrom the books on Arkansas birds by Howell (1911), Wheeler(1924), and Baerg (1931, 1951), but italso incorporates datafrom such other rich sources as the early regional summaries byBlack (1935) for the western Boston Mountains, and Dead-rick (1938) for the eastern Ouachita Mountains, as well as themore recent studies by Meanley and Neff (1953) on the GrandPrairie, and Mattocks and Shugart (1962) in southern Arkan-sas. To this was added data found in Audubon Field Notes andother statewide analyses (James, 1960, 1964), plus the infor-mation obtained from museum specimens in Arkansas collectionsaround the country. The major single source of records, mostlyunpublished, came from the nearly thirty thousand entries con-tained in the files maintained by the Arkansas Audubon Societyunder the curatorial supervision of the senior author. The bulkof these were obtained from competent field observers since 1955,but past observations made by some individuals who were veryactive prior to that date were added. These latter, some of whichdate back to the early part of this century, include the recordsofM.G. Vaiden, S. H. Weakley, Ben B. Coffey, Jr., Arnold J.Hoiberg, Brooke Meanley, and the senior author.In spite of the increased coverage, this report is preliminaryin the sense that the chart reveals many gaps in the knowledgeof the seasonal distribution of the Arkansas avifauna. There-fore, it serves not only as a source of up-to-date information,but also provides an outline to the problems which requirefurther investigation.Several birds which have been reported in the state are notisted. The Black Skimmer is not included because the singlespecimen was undated. Birds like the Passenger Pigeon and theivory-billed Woodpecker were omitted because they no longeroccur in Arkansas. Several species reported in previous publica-tions were omitted because of uncertainties about them. On theother hand, the banded Sooty Tern recovered in Arkansas onSeptember 4. 1950 (Dickinson, 1951) was omitted inadvert-ently.20Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science, Vol. 18 [1964], Art. 7Published by Arkansas Academy of Science, 196421Seasonal Occurrences of Arkansas BirdsTHE SEASONAL OCCURRENCES OF ARKANSAS BIRDS¦¦¦1 Continuous presence at least locally.Either Isolated occurrences separated by a week ormore, or continuous presence In very small numbers.Breeding regularly.# Breeding Irregularly or known to have bred.Numbers Indicate Important dates.Species Jon Feb Mar Apr Moy Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec[common loon m m m JPt .'.° _£ |_ _I ' 'RED-THROATED LOON . .I 1 21RED-NECKED GREBE j.HORNED GREBE m^ , m^ mtm ,_. 2 M»MIPIED-BILLED GREBE mmm mm mmtmmm lmml mmm w^KB ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ MHWHITE PELICAN .jpjpjm . _^m gpjiMH.j tBRO^AfN PEUCAN jIDOUBLE-CRESTED * 22 7 ,ICORMORANT pjjgpj gpjgpj g^pjpjp^p^pj |m^j JLtAA * ** * .&£^£.

JamesUniversity of ArkansasThe accompanying chart, based on a greater accumulationof information about Arkansas birds than has been compiledpreviously, shows the seasonal occurrences of the birds that havebeen recorded from the time the first naturalist visited the statein 1811, through 1963. Not only does it include informationfrom the books on Arkansas birds by Howell (1911), Wheeler(1924), and Baerg (1931, 1951), but italso incorporates datafrom such other rich sources as the early regional summaries byBlack (1935) for the western Boston Mountains, and Dead-rick (1938) for the eastern Ouachita Mountains, as well as themore recent studies by Meanley and Neff (1953) on the GrandPrairie, and Mattocks and Shugart (1962) in southern Arkan-sas. To this was added data found in Audubon Field Notes andother statewide analyses (James, 1960, 1964), plus the infor-mation obtained from museum specimens in Arkansas collectionsaround the country. The major single source of records, mostlyunpublished, came from the nearly thirty thousand entries con-tained in the files maintained by the Arkansas Audubon Societyunder the curatorial supervision of the senior author. The bulkof these were obtained from competent field observers since 1955,but past observations made by some individuals who were veryactive prior to that date were added. These latter, some of whichdate back to the early part of this century, include the recordsofM.G. Vaiden, S. H. Weakley, Ben B. Coffey, Jr., Arnold J.Hoiberg, Brooke Meanley, and the senior author.In spite of the increased coverage, this report is preliminaryin the sense that the chart reveals many gaps in the knowledgeof the seasonal distribution of the Arkansas avifauna. There-fore, it serves not only as a source of up-to-date information,but also provides an outline to the problems which requirefurther investigation.Several birds which have been reported in the state are notisted. The Black Skimmer is not included because the singlespecimen was undated. Birds like the Passenger Pigeon and theivory-billed Woodpecker were omitted because they no longeroccur in Arkansas. Several species reported in previous publica-tions were omitted because of uncertainties about them. On theother hand, the banded Sooty Tern recovered in Arkansas onSeptember 4. 1950 (Dickinson, 1951) was omitted inadvert-ently.20Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science, Vol. 18 [1964], Art. 7Published by Arkansas Academy of Science, 196421Seasonal Occurrences of Arkansas BirdsTHE SEASONAL OCCURRENCES OF ARKANSAS BIRDS¦¦¦1 Continuous presence at least locally.Either Isolated occurrences separated by a week ormore, or continuous presence In very small numbers.Breeding regularly.# Breeding Irregularly or known to have bred.Numbers Indicate Important dates.Species Jon Feb Mar Apr Moy Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec[common loon m m m JPt .'.° _£ |_ _I ''RED-THROATED LOON . .I 1 21RED-NECKED GREBE j.HORNED GREBE m^ , m̂ mtm ,_. 2 M»MIPIED-BILLED GREBE mmm mm mmtmmm lmml mmm w^KB ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ MHWHITE PELICAN .jpjpjm . _^m gpjiMH.j tBRO^AfN PEUCAN jIDOUBLE-CRESTED * 22 7 ,ICORMORANT pjjgpj gpjgpj g^pjpjp^p^pj |m^j JLtAA * ** * .&£^£.
