Watching for birds in Innsbrook, Missouri, during the winter offers a unique and serene experience as the landscape transforms into a winter wonderland.

10 Birds You Can Spot in Missouri During the Winter

1. Canvasback (Aythya Valisineria): These winter Missouri birds are often called the aristocrats of ducks for their sophisticated mannerisms.  

2. Mallard (Anas Platyrhynchos): This bird species is the ancestor of nearly all domestic duck breeds. The only exception is the Muscovy Duck.

3. Short-Eared Owl (Asio Flammeus): Winter is the best time to find these majestic birds in Missouri. 

4. Common Merganser (Mergus Merganser): These elegant emerald and white beauties are a lovely winter sight in Missouri. During the winter months, they form flocks on large bodies of water. 

5. Common Goldeneye (Bucephala Clangula): These beautiful birds can be found during winter on protected coastal waters and inland lakes such as the ones in Missouri. During winter, you might also be lucky enough to see one of the male Common Golden eyes perform tricks to impress the females, such as bending his head back to touch his rump and then kicking the water with his feet. 

6. American Tree Sparrow (Spizelloides Arborea): These plump little creatures can be spotted in Missouri during the winter. They need to consume 30% of their weight in food a day to survive, with a day of fasting usually equaling a death sentence.

7. White-Crowned Sparrow (Zonotrichia Leucophrys): These marvelous winter birds are quite the speedy travelers. One was recorded migrating 300 miles in a single night.

8. Dark-Eyed Junco (Junco Hyemalis): Look for these winter birds while you’re on a nature walk through Innsbrook, Missouri.

9. Golden-Crowned Kinglet (Regulus Satrapa): These adorable creatures are tougher than they look as they can survive – 40 degree nights. 

10. Cedar Waxwing (Bombycilla Cedrorum): These silky, shiny beauties are a true delight to spot while you’re bird-watching.
