We visited northern Arkansas to see the total solar eclipse and we took a few (thousand) pictures. Back home, we are seeing migrants arriving, including Northern Flickers, Swallows, Bluebirds, and waterfowl. Some local eagles are nesting with eggs, and other eagle pairs are going without eggs this year.
