St. James, Mo. – The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) & St. James Parks & Recreation Department is hosting a “Beginners Birding Walk” event for families & individuals at St. James Park on April 10, 2027 between 4 – 5:30 PM. Enjoy a leisurely walk around the St. James Park grounds, observing the birds that use this oasis of varied remnant prairie, riparian zone, open woodlands, savanna, pine forest, and glade. The walk is guided by Missouri Master Naturalists and MDC staff. While geared toward the beginner, birders of all skill levels are welcome. During the walk, bird identification, including old school methods and current apps, will be covered, as well as life history and related citizen-science opportunities. The walk will be on sidewalks, mixed natural surfaces, as well as uneven terrain. Bring binoculars if you have them, because there will be a limited number of binoculars available for use from MDC. Program is limited to 40 registered participants: ages 5 and older. For more information, contact Dwight Warnke at Dwight.Warnke@mdc.mo.gov. Dwight Warnke
