Adventures in Arkansas – The Natural State
When it comes to its avian life, Arkansas is a state with a rich and diversified natural heritage. Its bird life reflects the influence of both eastern and western avifaunas, as well as the effects of human alteration of the environment and climate change. The state’s location in the south-central United States, along with its varied habitats, such as forests, fields, wetlands, and mountains, make it a hotspot for birdwatching and conservation.
