Within a day's drive of NWA you can see some amazing spring bird activity. Loess Bluffs NWR in northern Missouri hosts many thousands of Snow Geese and a few hours west of there you can experience the stopover of thousands of Sandhill Cranes on their way to their nesting grounds in Canada. I took a short trip up last week to see those birds plus get an up-close view of dancing Greater Prairie Chickens. Here is my trip report https://ebird.org/tripreport/338003 I had seen all these species before, it was just a trip to experience the birds in their natural habitat, not to worry about making marks on a list.
