Public access and the Buffalo River Trail expanded at BNR

Harrison, Ark.— The National Park Service (NPS) has purchased a 64-acre tract of land within the legislated boundaries of Buffalo National River, making it possible for all people to access this tract of land within the park. This formerly private inholding was an important key to completing a segment of the Buffalo River Trail/Ozark Highland Trail. Located on the south side of the Buffalo River in Searcy County, between Rocky Creek and the South Maumee River Access, this property offers great views of the river and 64 more acres for visitors to explore, birdwatch, backcountry camp, and hunt. Visitors can now hike on the maintained trail all the way from Richland Creek to Dillards Ferry.

Summer bird feeding continued

This week we discuss cautions on summer feeding. While a greater variety of foods will attract more birds, backyard birders should take care not to offer less nutritious options during the summer when baby birds need the best food for healthy growth. Kitchen scraps, for example, are not suitable to feed birds during the summer. While small quantities of bread, cooked rice, and other scraps won’t harm adult birds when offered as very rare treats, these foods offer no nutrition for nestlings and other young birds. Avoid offering this “bird junk food” during the months when young birds need a healthy diet to grow into strong, mature adults.
