Kiwanis Park Guided Bird Hike with Columbia Audubon Society and Missouri Conservation Corps

More than 36 species of birds were discovered in Kiwanis Park during the 2023 Bird Hike with the Columbia Audubon Society.

PLEASE NOTE THAT WE HAD TO ADJUST THE DATE OF THE BIRD HIKE FROM MAY 7TH TO MAY 6TH. If you are interested in learning more about the migratory birds that travel through Missouri each year during the spring, come and join us in Kiwanis Park on Tuesday, May 6th.  This is the date of our third annual guided bird hike with the Columbia Audubon Society.  Participants are asked to meet in the park’s east parking lot at Thurston Shelter at 7:00 a.m., May 6th.  We will be guided through the park by Audubon Society member John Besser as we survey this heavily forested park for its avian residents and travelers.  This event will last approximately 1.5 hours, and our group will be traversing steep and uneven terrain.  Sturdy hiking shoes and a water bottle will be very helpful during the hike.  In case of rain, please pack a raincoat.  Our Kiwanis Park guided bird hikes in 2023 and 2024 were wonderfully successful, so we are asking participants to pre-register for this event by emailing Missouri Conservation Corps Project Director Stephen Bybee at [email protected]
