Click on the Baltimore Oriole to see a preview of a proposed TV show about birding. Then take the survey. I'm plugging it because think of how many new birders it could attract!

How are birds doing in the face of habitat loss, etc? Here's the complete 2009 State of the Birds report. Watch the video and download the report. Sponsored by American Bird Conservancy, National Audubon, US Fish and Wildlife, and many more.

Swarovski Optik is sponsoring the 2009 Digiscoper of the Year Award. Really cool interface! I think you should enter.

I check this webcam everyday. It's Old Faithful in Yellowstone National Park. When you see a crowd gathering, you know a predicted eruption is near.

Randy Korotev summarized 20 years of birding records from Forest Park in St. Louis in Counting Warblers: A Timetable for Spring Songbird Migration through St. Louis! 

I made this cool timeline from his data. I just wish I could get it to show up in this site. Any suggestions for me? Contact annemccormack AT sbcglobal.net

Summary of posts about birds in Missouri at Birding on the Net

Jim Jackson wrote a great article about WGNSS in the Missouri Conservationist in 1995.

John Trapp writes in his blog, Birds Etcetera, about the Secretary of Defense birding with WGNSS birder Dick Anderson.

Surfing the net is all very well, but why not go on a bird walk with us? Botany walks or Entomology meetings are great too! All our events are free unless noted.
