Free Coffee with the Birds Program Enjoy winter bird watching from the comfort of an indoor wildlife viewing room during an informal program being offered for ages 18 and older at the Johnson County Park and Recreation District’s Ernie Miller Nature Sanctuary. With lack of foliage and increased sight distance, winter is a great time for bird watching. Chickadees, woodpeckers, juncos, cedar waxwings, and many more are commonly seen at the center’s feeders. This free eight-week program is called Coffee with the Birds. Visitors are invited to come sit, visit, and drink free coffee as they watch birds at the nature center’s feeders between 9 and 10:30 a.m. on Tuesdays now through February 26. No registration or reservations are required, and participants can come and go as they please.

MO Outdoors can help users find MDC conservation areas, fishing accesses, hiking trails, shooting ranges, and nature centers around the state based on their desired types of outdoor activities— including birdwatching, camping, fishing, hiking, hunting or shooting. Users can also mark “favorite” locations to quickly find them in future searches. MO Outdoors also connects users to area regulations and season

information, hours of operation, images, area closings and interactive maps of area boundaries and features. The map function also displays features such as parking lots, boat ramps, and wildlife viewing areas, and allows users to easily navigate to the features using their device’s GPS. Users can also download maps for offline use. Download the app in Google Play for Android or the App Store for iOS devices.
