My wife and I took off about an hour and a half north of Little Rock to a town called Heber Springs. It is a lake town known for Greers Ferry but we had our GPS locked in to another another lake on the outskirts of town. Lake Magness. It's a small private lake but something magical happened about 1993. Folks think a storm knocked a few Trumpeter Swans off course and they wintered at this lake. Now years later there can be as many as 195 swans as well as other water fowl enjoying the lake. I didn't expect to see so many cars as we pulled up. It was a beautiful Arkansas winter day with blue skies and the temperatures right about 60 degrees. We had been told to arrive about 4pm so we could see them coming in. It's not a real schedule but about. We only saw a few more ducks come gliding in as the swans were already there. I'm starting to like these exploring the state of Arkansas adventures. Enjoy the photos!
One thing that happened at sundown today in Arkansas... Duck season ended. Not the best season as it didn't get really cold up north to drive them down. Maybe next year...
