Birds Galore - Right Outside the Door |
Year round, the birding is fascinating!
Spend a thrilling weekend oohing and aahing over the wonderful birds
that make their home along the Arkansas River. Regardless of the
time of year, you’ll see (and hear) myriad species of these winged
wonders - right here at Lark Landing.Because we lie within a
major migratory fly-way, spring, of course, is the best time for
bird watching. Nevertheless, winter also affords good viewing
because this area is the “turn-around” point for certain migratory
species, such as the robin. In addition, because of the relatively
mild winters, some birds, such as the red-winged blackbird, stay all
year. And, as most bird aficionados know - this is home to the
awesome American bald eagle.
Here’s a partial list of and the best times of year to view our
feathered friends:
|
Year Round: Meadowlark, Little Blue Heron,
Flicker, Magpie . . .

Summer: Violet-Green Swallow,
American Goldfinch . . .

Late Winter: American Bald Eagle,
Merganser, Wild Turkey. . . |

. . . Spring: Phalarope, Snowy Egret, Green
Night Heron, Cinnamon Teal

. . . Fall: Quail, Canada Goose, Ring-Tail
Pheasant

You can bird-watch up and down the Arkansas River
. . . or stay put
and see your feathered friends as they visit our pond . . . or gaze to
your heart’s content from your room. Our spacious carriage-house
guest suite overlooks the river and features a pillow-top queen size
bed, a double sofa-bed, and private bath. A spectacular second-story
deck above the water affords a perfect "viewing stand," while a
small kitchenette set-up allows you to prepare your own snacks and
light meals. |
