CAS Events Listings

Columbia Audubon Society field trips and events are informal and friendly. Advanced registration is (normally) not required and all participants are welcomed, whether or not they are CAS members. Please help us maintain this relaxed approach by being prepared for the risks inherent in such activities (especially those involving the outdoors and/or driving), acting responsibly, and understanding that complete elimination of risk is not possible. Further guidelines are available for field trip leaders and participants.

Friday, July 1, 2022 | 8 a.m.

First Friday Bird Walk

Meet at Songbird Station, 2010 Chapel Plaza Ct., Columbia, MO

First Friday Fun! Join the Columbia Audubon Society for a bird walk. This walk is open to anyone who enjoys birds, and beginners are encouraged to attend. We will walk at the 3M Wetland Trail, just off the MKT Trail near Forum Blvd. We’ll meet at the Songbird Station parking lot at 8 a.m. sharp and then drive down the hill to park near the wetlands (less than a 5 min. drive). We’ll enjoy all the Missouri resident birds in this natural, lush landscape. It is a moderate walk. Waterproof shoes are recommended, but not required. After our walk, we’ll return to Songbird Station by 11 a.m. and enjoy coffee and donuts. Led by Lottie Bushmann.


Friday, August 26-Saturday, August 27, 2022 | 5:00pm

Missouri Bird Conservation Initiative Annual Conference

For the first time since 2019, MoBCI is hosting an in person conference at the Columbia Country Club in Columbia. The theme is Weather or Not We Care about Birds, and covers climate-related issues facing bird conservation today. Friday night is a cash bar with heavy hors d’ouevres and Saturday’s lunch is provided with registration. There will also be a silent auction with many nature-related items and experiences. Registration and the full agenda is available at www.mobci.net.
