ASM's Records Committee, known as the MBRC, performs many important functions in monitoring the status and distribution of Missouri's birds. Many of their tasks revolve around the evaluation of rare bird reports which may be submitted through our web site. Check the Review List to learn which birds are considered casual or accidental in our state. You will also find products from their work, such as the annotated state checklist, scattered throughout the site. Here is more info about this important ASM committee: More...
The Audubon Society of Missouri (ASM) is participating in partnership agreements with the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) and the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to collect bird occurrence data and maintain a web-based dynamic database for conservation areas (CACHE) and state parks (SPARKS).
