Mark/Jay,
Could be wrong, but I'm not really thinking it is Benwood. I birded there
numerous times with Jeff over several years and he never referred to the area
as that. That being said, I was birding with Jeff a lot in the 05 timeframe and
don't remember him mentioning the Clay Pits.

Mark,
Could it be Benwood Lake area? Used to be a lake now a yearly flooded duck hunt
area.
It's just down the road(I-55) exit right before you get to the Wappanocca exit
at Turrell.
I've been there in the 2011 spring flood time period with him.
Or what about the flooded farm fields on the west side of West Memphis in the
fall/winter/spring.
Also did you record some old records yesterday and accidently put in 2015,
because Jeff showed up in a "historical record" for this week.

Subject: [TN-Bird] Looking for a location in Eastern AR

Hello,
I am still in the process of
entering the late Jeff R. Wilson's bird records into
eBird. I'm up to mid 2005 so I'm making great
progress but I've still got a ways to go as much as the
"Ol' Coot" birded! :o)
He keeps making reference a
location in eastern AR called the "Clay Pits" just
across the river from Memphis where he had shorebird and
waterfowl sightings from time to time. Do y'all have any
idea where the specific location of this area is? I never
went there with Jeff and I've asked a few others and
they weren't familiar with the location either. Any help
is appreciated.
You can contact me
off the list if you wish at the email address
below.
Thanks!
