Birds

Here in Missouri, we’re lucky to be a crossroads for birds heading south or overwintering here. Here’s a Guide to preparing your backyard for overwintering birds as well as a photo contest you can enter.

Amateur photographers, including youth, are encouraged to submit their favorite wild bird photographs for the contest that offers cash prizes for winners. The contest is a fundraiser for MRBO, which is devoted to the conservation of Missouri’s migratory and resident birds.
