Stretching along the Mississippi Flyway, Eastern Arkansas encompasses the state’s richest expanse of wetlands, forests, and agricultural lands. Oxbow lakes, levees, and backwater sloughs provide year-round refuge for waterbirds, while bottomland hardwood forests and croplands host dramatic seasonal movements of migrants. Winter brings immense concentrations of ducks, geese, and raptors, spring fills flooded plains with shorebirds and warblers, and summer sustains heronries and kite roosts across the Delta. Fall migration returns with heavy waterfowl movement and large mixed flocks of sparrows and blackbirds. What sets Eastern Arkansas apart is its sheer abundance, where continental-scale migrations funnel through a working landscape of levees, rivers, and wetlands, producing some of the most striking bird concentrations in the Mississippi Delta.
