I went to Pine Bluff this morning to these two areas just off of I-530. I spent 2 hours at BB Nature Trail and about 40 minutes at Byrd Lake NA. I got first of seasons Anhinga, Red-eyed Vireo, Broad-winged Hawk, and Blue-winged Warbler. These are two easy nature trails well worth the less than one hour’s drive from West Little Rock.
