Page iii THE BLUEBIRD President’s Corner—Shari Harden Dear Fellow Birders, Once again the presentations at the Fall meeting were very in- formative and gave me an optimis- tic outlook for the future of bird research. Members also learned about the progress on the Great Missouri Birding Trail. The trail should increase every birder’s abil- ity to access information when they visit areas across the state, and could introduce more people to birding. Of course, the best part of the Fall meeting was good birding and catching up with friends we may only see once or twice a year. The board had a productive meeting that will ensure research fund- ing, habitat restoration, and leadership development in the future. A substantial donation was approved for the Jerry Wade Memorial Fund that will provide annual funding for students working to pro- tect, enhance, or restore habitat for birds. The scholarship funding for bird research that ASM provides will increase this year. The stu- dents who receive the scholarships often come to the Fall meeting to share their research activities with our members. The board also approved enhancements to the website used to sub- mit documentation of rare birds to the Missouri Bird Records Com- mittee, and support for two young leaders in the Green Leadership Academy for Diverse Ecosystems. The GLADE program helps young people develop leadership skills for community conservation. Partici- pants restore habitat for birds and other wildlife, and become more aware of conservation issues. ASM members had the opportunity to meet the ABA young birder of the year, Marky ‘Birdgirl’ Mutchler. Marky and her mother came to the meeting and gave a presentation highlighting the efforts that led to her young birder of the year award. I hope Marky enjoyed the Fall meeting as much as we enjoyed having her join us. All of the above makes me proud to be a member of ASM. Support- ing birds and the habitat they need to survive and thrive, and help- Page 119 THE BLUEBIRD ing young birders, researchers, and conservationists establish them- selves and prepare for the future. The spring meeting will be at the Bunker Hill Retreat April 29 - May 1, 2016, in south central Missouri along the Jacks Fork. The habitat is so beautiful in that area of the state. The birding should be outstanding, and I can’t wait to see everyone there. Shari Harden, President The Audubon Society of Missouri WE WELCOME OUR NEW ASM MEMBERS!! Kevin Wehner Remember, new members are our future. If a new member lives near you, say, “Howdy and welcome to ASM.” In addition, recruit another new member. Welcome to these six new ASM members in the 4th quarter of 2015.

But when I take time to look around And listen to my friends I see that they are doing fine And that is where my doubting ends. Because Does a horned owl use a credit card To catch a rabbit that’s running by Do the snow geese use a G.P.S. To tell them where to fly? Do the coyotes use a cell phone To call their friends on a far off hill? No, their message travels on the wind And probably always will. Can you send at E-mail To an eagle nesting high in a lonesome pine Can you click on to a butterfly Does a bullfrog go on line? No they are smart enough to use God’s ways To get their message sent And knowing that His line is open Leaves me feeling quite content. —-Dean Heflin Mozingo Lake Nodaway County, Missouri Page 122 THE BLUEBIRD Winter 2014-2015 Seasonal Report Mary Nemecek ([email protected]) Winter started off with a mild December, with an overall average temp of 36°F, three degrees above the long-term average. This was a nice contrast to the coldest December in 35 years experienced in 2013, but when viewed in a global context, 2014 was the warmest year on record. While the temperatures were up, the sunshine was down, with the least amount of sunny days in the past two decades. Columbia had 27 days of cloudy or partly cloudy weather. Precipita- tion in the northern third of the state was low with only 0.75-1.50 inches. The southwestern, east-central and southeastern portions of the state experienced 2.5-3.5 inches. The only notable snowfall was just north of Kansas City on 17-18 December 17-18, when 3-5 inches fell overnight. January welcomed an Arctic front that dropped temperatures con- siderably. By January 15 a Pacific front moved in, once again giving Missouri above-average temperatures, making it two consecutive winter months with temperatures that exceeded averages.

    Views from the Greenways MISSION & VISION FOR GREAT RIVERS GREENWAY MISSION OF GREAT RIVERS GREENWAY Great Rivers Greenway makes the St. Louis region a more vibrant place to live, work and play by developing a network of greenways to connect people to their rivers, parks and communities. VISION OF GREAT RIVERS GREENWAY The residents of the St. Louis region voted for and invested in a clear, bold vision – a dynamic network of parks and open spaces linked together by greenways, connecting our communities so people can live life outside. The network of greenways strengthens the social, economic and environmental well-being of our region. Community members proudly invest in, care for and champion greenways for years to come. WHAT IS A GREENWAY? Greenways are outdoor spaces connecting people and places. More than just a trail, each greenway is unique, with neighborhoods, businesses, parks and rivers to explore. You can take a walk, go for a run, ride a bike, or get some fresh air. WHO IS GREAT RIVERS GREENWAY? Great Rivers Greenway is a regional parks and trails district, created by a vote of the people in the year 2000 to leave a legacy for future generations. That vote created a sales tax that funds our district to build, bring to life and care for the network of greenways. Our district includes the 1,200 square miles and nearly 2 million citizens in St. Louis City, St. Louis County and St. Charles County. BOSCHERT GREENWAY St. Charles County The Boschert Greenway links the Missouri River and the Katy Trail, goes through Historic Downtown St.
