    Best bird book for Missouri

    I've got some 10-12 year old grandkids in Kansas City that I want to get into birding, what is the best bird book for that area? I don't know if I should get them an eastern or western book. Thanks in advance!

    Advice for birding in SE AZ... in winter

    USA Shutdown, impact on state parks?

    Amazingly, those idiots are boy scout leaders. Their excuse was the balancing rock was a hazard to hikers. |=(| The parks and refuges are back in business. I am in a local National Wildlife Refuge Friends group, we were going to have to cancel an event if the shutdown was not over by Oct. 17.
