100th Bird Species Observed at Greenway Beginner Birdwatching

Posted on Friday June 20, 2025

Great Rivers Greenway and the St. Louis Audubon Society have been partnering to host beginner birdwatching adventures on our region’s greenways for the past 5 years – and in June, we hit a major milestone: our 100th bird species observed is … drumroll … the dickcissel!

More than 550 participants have joined us across the Busch, Dardenne, Fee Fee, Meramec, Mississippi, Missouri, Sunset, and St. Vincent Greenways on an incredible journey of learning, community, and discovering the amazing birdlife along the greenways.

Come celebrate with us!
