The bird visits twice daily at Duches Road to eat and drink, sits on a girl's hand, pecks the ground, and may resemble a flicker or yellowhammer, possibly an escaped exotic or mutated woodpecker.

Hope Arkansas Watermelon Sets World Size Record
Ivan Bright's prize watermelon reached 200 pounds at HOPE Arkansas during the annual melon festival. The giant melon fell just short of the midnight deadline but still earned Bright a $10,000 prize as seeds and future growth plans hint at an eventual 225 pounder. Bright has won the Big Melon contest five of the last six years in the town nicknamed the watermelon capital of the world.
