Deer sleep in the woods at Songbird Prairie
We enjoy seeing the animals in their natural habitat. These two spent the night and most of the day here resting. We feed them apples and bread. It was so comical first thing in the morning the squirrels were running around and the doe raised up her head as if to say "really you two, I'm trying to sleep here" then she put her head back down. Come to see them. We would love to have you!

Barred Owl Looking for breakfast @ Songbird Prairie Bed and Breakfast
November 3, 2010
This morning I heard a different bird sound and it was a barred owl! He moved his head up down and all around looking for mice and chipmunks in the woods. He stayed on the branch for several minutes as if he was at a photo shoot. What a hoot! I enjoyed watching his beautiful feathers blow in the wind. www.songbirdprairie.com

A Better Way to Stay Songbird Prairie Bed and Breakfast

A Better Way to Stay
A Grassroots Campaign for the B&B Industry
September-October Updates
PAII has coined the phrase “The Better Way to Stay”. This campaign is phenomenal and it is poised to launch with a website dedicated to showing the industry all the components of the campaign. This temporary site will soon be taken down and BetterWaytoStay.com will become a resource room for innkeepers to learn about the campaign, its supporters and its tools. Look forward to learning about the launch of this site any day now.
Many travelers are finding out that B&B’s give such personal service that even the finest hotels are not able to accommodate! The relaxation that comes from staying two or more days at a B&B cannot be matched at a hotel. Owners of B&B’s care for you like friends, yet give you privacy at the same time. Many have acreage with places to walk, talk and reconnect. Find your perfect place and make a reservation today. www.songbirdprairie.com 877.766.4273 Read our reviews and find a Better Way to Stay!
