Saturday, November 29th, 2025 - Winter Waterfowl at Lake Fayetteville's Mulhollan Blind
Northwest Arkansas Audubon Society will host a birding field trip to Lake Fayetteville on Saturday, November 29th, 2025, starting at 9:00 AM. The focus of this trip will be winter waterfowl (ducks, geese, grebes) that accumulate on the lake at this time of year. We will meet at the trailhead parking lot South of the Botanical Garden of the Ozarks and make our way along a forest trail to the newly-rebuilt Mulhollan Waterfowl Blind! We will enjoy the new blind's excellent vantage point for discreetly surveying waterfowl on the lake. The walk to the blind and back will be approximately 1.25 miles on flat dirt trails and boardwalks with the trip lasting no more than 2 hours.

Sunday, December 14th, 2025 - Fayetteville Christmas Bird Count
The 2025 Fayetteville Christmas Bird Count will be held on Sunday, December 14th. This all-day bird census involves a number of teams spreading out to survey different zones around Fayetteville. At the end of the day, we reunite to gather our data into one official report to be submitted to the National Audubon Society's database that stretches back a century. There are plenty of opportunities for new birders to join more experienced teams for some or all of the day.
Email CBC Coordinator Mitchell Pruitt if you are interested in joining: mitchellpruitt24@gmail.com.
Field trips for October, November, and December be posted in September.
