Missouri has a large numbers of year round resident bird
species that enjoy the biodiversity of the state's varied ecosystems. Missouri's
geographical location along the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers is one of
the most active north south migrational fly ways that exists. Many bird species
are only here during that spring and fall migrations. The rivers, lakes and
ponds of the state provide plenty of aquatic habitat for resident and migrating
birds. The diverse woodlands, old fields and agricultural land provide plenty
of food source and niche ecosystems for many species of birds to call home.
If you are an active birder or just a casual bird watcher there are plenty
of bird species to identify and learn more about in your neck of the woods.
