Ozark Mountains 



There are records of birds in two locations in the Arkansas 

 Ozarks. D. A. and F. C. James and S. Hilty (1966, p. 577) 

 recorded three territorial males 12 miles southeast of Yellville, 

 Marion County, Ark., June 25, 1966. At Fayetteville, Washington 

 County, in the northwestern corner of the State, the Jameses 

 (1966, p. 518) observed a male on territory daily. May 4 to 31, 

 1966. 



Westward beyond the Ozarks, the breeding range extends into 

 the Prairie Plains physiographic region of northeastern Okla- 

 homa. Nice (1931, p. 155) reported that A. J. Kirn located several 

 nests along the Little Caney River near Copan, Washington 

 County, in June 1914 and June 1917. This locality is only about 

 10 miles from the Kansas border. A more recent occurrence in 

 the same county was reported at Bartlesville, April 23, by S. Veal 

 (Williams, 1966, p. 524).
