The Missouri Department of Conservation, along with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Missouri Conservation Heritage Foundation want birders, new and experienced, to join the Missouri Birding Challenge this May.

The next webinar on birding in the state is set for April 16th, from 6-7 PM, with MDC Ornithologist Kristen Heath-Acre. She'll guide new birders through the common species of Missouri, helping to identify them by sight, sound, and habitat.  

Birders can register for this seminar, or watch earlier ones for this year's Birding Challenge, by going HERE.
