Missouri Birds

Over 430 species of birds have been seen in Missouri, the vast majority of which are either permanent residents, regular breeders, or annual migrants. These include state bird Eastern Bluebird as well as other iconic species like American White Pelican, Swainson’s Hawk, Bald Eagle, Painted Bunting, and Acadian Flycatcher. Birds are many peoples’ entry point into nature study as they are so colorful and ubiquitous, yet it can be overwhelming to sift through so many species. It helps, then, to have a portable reference like Missouri Birds to cut through the clutter and focus on the most familiar species. This beautifully illustrated collection features 140 common species as well as an ecoregion map showing over 20 bird-finding hotspots and learning sites. Laminated for durability, this lightweight, 12-panel folding pocket guide is the ideal companion for educators, learners, naturalists, and birders who wish to sharpen their bird identification skills and peer more closely into birds’ fascinating lives.
