JOPLIN, Mo. – Watching birds at feeders is a great way to learn about the different bird species we have in this area and it’s an activity the entire family can get involved in.

Learn more about some of the birds commonly seen in Missouri’s backyards and how you can draw them to your yard at the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) program “Birds: Attracting Backyard Birds” Nov. 2 at MDC’s Shoal Creek Conservation and Education Center.
