Look for feeding eagles during a Beaver Lake Eagle Watch cruise.

October is a good time to visit Eureka Springs. Leaf peepers come to admire vivid fall colors. Outdoor enthusiasts come to bike, hike and explore the Ozarks. Art enthusiasts come to browse the many art galleries in town.

Some of the most popular visitors to arrive in Eureka Springs and the Arkansas Ozarks each October are the bald eagles who winter here. Let our Eureka Springs Bed and Breakfast serve as your headquarters for your Ozark Eagle adventure.

Consider taking an Eagle Watch cruise aboard the Belle of the Ozarks. Expert guides will be on board throughout the month of October, helping to spot eagles and sharing a good deal of information about our national bird.

In the pasts, guests of our Bed and Breakfast Eureka Springs have returned from Eagle Watch Cruises on Beaver Lake with photos of mature eagles, immature eagles, hunting eagles, and eagles perched atop swaying trees. No matter how many times we see eagles, they always inspire awe. Their remarkable cry sends chills down the spine.

Cruises are also a good way to admire fall foliage around Beaver Lake.

For more information about October Eagle Watch Cruises, please visit Belle of the Ozarks.

They’re Back!

The Redbreated Grossbeaks have returned to the garden of Arsenic and Old Lace B&B. This is truly one of the gentlemen of Spring – we are seeing them daily and should continue to have these visitors for the next several weeks. In addition to the grossbeaks we see Indigo buntings and a myriad of other birds daily. Breakfast is and explosion of taste at the table and color in the garden! Because of our feathered guests we actually operate a B&B&B (Bed & Breakfast & Birds)! These friends are always welcomed in Eureka Springs! May is celebration of the Arts Month and the feathered visitors add a touch of art to the natural beauty of the Ozarks.

This is a wonderful season to view the birds at the Arsenic & Old Lace! Our gardens are truly lush and the birds are in abundance and loving it. So you might ask what types of birds are visiting our backyard? Well the list is extensive. While the gardens are lush, we also entice them with six seed feeders, two suet feeders, and four Humming Bird feeders! This year we have the honor of enjoying watching Rose-Breasted Grosbeaks, Red Headed Woodpeckers, Baltimore Orioles, Humming Birds, Cardinals, Indigo Buntings, Finches, and more! Along with the birds, we get other wildlife to visit as well such as deer and mixed breed squirrels.

We invite you to come and stay at the Inn, and join us view the wildlife while enjoying breakfast in the morning room!

Bird Watching in Eureka Springs

You don’t have to be physical to enjoy birding in Eureka Springs. Celebrate the great outdoors in a nature paradise where you can relax and enjoy bird watching in the Inn’s backyard, garden, sitting on the porch, or visit one of our local parks. It does not matter what the season, as birds are plentiful and always amusing to watch.

To date one hundred and seventy-nine birds had been identified in the Eureka Springs area. Among the most common are Eagles and Pileated Woodpeckers. But best of all if romance is on your mind, you can “get two birds with one stone”. Imagine you and your loved one surrounded by luxury, tree tops, birds, and the sky! Reserve the Tree Top Suite, bring your binoculars, and enjoy the getaway.

The birds are “tweeting with happiness” as we sit on the porch enjoying a refreshing glass of ice tea. We welcome you to come, join us, and enjoy bird watching!
