Grassland Bird Surveys: Missouri River Bird Observatory
April 2nd · Thursday · 12-1pm
Historically, Missouri was composed of 30,000,000 acres of native prairie which was home to numerous grassland bird species. Today with less than 60,000 acres of quality prairie remaining, how has this impacted bird populations and what can we do about it? Join Deep Roots and the Missouri River Bird Observatory (MRBO) in this inspirational episode as we visit prairie restorations and residents that support native birds in Arrow Rock, Missouri and beyond. MRBO has been monitoring grassland birds across Missouri for 14 years. Learn about their innovative technology to determine “bird-friendliness” in a landscape and best practices for supporting bird populations at home.
