The big Arkansas birding story
is the spotting of the Ivory Billed Woodpecker in the
Big Woods of eastern Arkansas. Approximately 400
species of birds have been spotted in Arkansas.
Birders have been spotting Bald Eagles and Red-cockaded
Woodpeckers in Arkansas for years. The state
offers many spots that are favorable to birding.
