Missouri birders that have the experience to identify birds by sight and sound are needed for a Bird Survey this summer.
The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) needs volunteers to assist with five vacant bird-observation routes in Missouri as part of the 2023 North American Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) May 27 – July 7.
The five Missouri BBS routes that need volunteers are:
- Cassville in Barry County,
- Centertown in Cole County,
- Kenneth in Dunklin County,
- Sticklerville in Sullivan County,
- and Bland in Gasconade and Osage counties.
Volunteers will need to conduct their survey one day during the May 27 – July 7 survey period.
 The purpose of the BBS is to track the status and trends of North American bird populations. For more info on the BBS, visit pwrc.usgs.gov/bbs/.
