The Missouri Birding Society has agreements with the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) and Missouri Department of Natural Resources, Division of State Parks (DNR DSP). In these programs called CACHE/SPARKS, MBS volunteers collect bird occurrence data by entering site visits in eBird. MBS volunteers also provide additional services, such as a downloadable checklist for each state park and birding site guides, all available on the MBS website.
A major component of the agreements is the commitment to improve our knowledge of when species of birds are present in our state parks and conservation areas. eBird bar charts show weeks that birders have or have not submitted data for each site.
As you plan your birding adventures for the last two weeks of November and December, please consider birding one or more of the sites below to add to our understanding of bird occurrence in Missouri. All you need to do is bird the site and enter your checklist into eBird.
These sites lack data for the weeks indicated (for eBird purposes, week 1 is composed of days 1-7; week 2, days 8-14; week 3, 15-21; and week 4, days 22 through the end of the month): Shoemaker CA, Adair Co., Nov weeks 3,4, Dec weeks 1,2,3,4 Morris Prairie CA, Putnam Co., Nov week 3, Dec weeks 1,3,4 Dark Hollow NA, Sullivan Co., Nov weeks, 3,4, Dec weeks 1,3,4 Union Ridge CA, Sullvan Co., Nov weeks 3,4 Mule Shoe CA, Cedar Co., Nov week 3, Dec weeks 2,3 Fiery Fork CA, Camden Co., Nov weeks, 3.4, Dec week 2 Seven Island CA, Mississippi Co., Nov week 3 Grandfather Prairie, Pettis Co., Nov week 3, Dec weeks 2,3 Meramec CA, Franklin Co., Nov week 3, Dec week 3 St. Joe SP, St. Francois Co., Nov week 3 Poague CA, Henry Co., Nov week 3, Dec week 1 Big Sugar Creek SP, McDonald Co., Nov week 3 Donaldson Point CA, New Madrid Co., Nov week 3, Dec week 4 Montauk SP, Dent Co., Nov week 3 Robertsville SP, Franklin Co., Nov week 3 Big Sugar Creek SP, McDonald Co., Nov week 3 St. Joe SP, St. Francois Co., Nov week 3 Poague CA, Henry Co., Nov week 3, Dec week 1 Donaldson Point CA, New Madrid Co., Nov week 3, Dec week 4 Montauk SP, Dent Co., Nov week 3 Robertsville SP, Franklin Co., Nov week 3 Friendly Prairie, Pettis Co., Nov week 4, Dec week 2 *Harry S.
