The Status and Distribution of Birds in Missouri

Abstract

The Status and Distribution of Birds in Missouri by Mark B. Robbins is a comprehensive, up-to-date compilation of the 435 species of birds that have been documented in Missouri. Primarily as a result of climate change, many species’ status and distribution have changed in the past twenty-five years. Those changes are highlighted in this treatise. The dramatic change in avian nomenclature and taxonomy will be apparent when comparing this work with past publications and field guides. There are four maps and 24 photographs of unusual birds recorded in the state, all in color.
