Bird watching is amazing at InnSpiration B&B this spring. Viewing the birds from a distance is best so bring binoculars or your long zoom lens, as most birds will usually will fly away when you get too close.

The majority of NW Iowa birds begin their nesting season in early spring. Male and female birds form pairs for nesting on the basis of courtship behaviors. Many birds sing as a means both of declaring their territory to rival males and to solicit the attention of arriving females.

InnSpiration B&B is a birder’s paradise in the spring.  With the woods and water, songbirds, ducks, geese, and hawks are in abundance.

Linn Grove, Iowa  is located on the Inkpaduta Canoe Trail, a 131-mile-long historical river trail, so the spring birding activities can easily be enjoyed from a canoe. Take a timeless birdwatching trip on the Little Sioux River during your stay at InnSpriation B&B. Rooms available starting from $65.00.
