[I don't know who did their survey, what methodology was used, or what the time frame was, but
I question some of their abundance evaluations. Fort Chaffee is close to my home, and I have roamed
it extensively over the last few years. I've had frequent encounters with Calico Pennants and Slaty
Skimmers, for example, which they call uncommon, while never encountering a Prince Baskettail ,
which they call common. I also have pictures of several species they don't mention.
No big deal. Just sayin'. - BW]
