Birds-I-View
Missouri Bluebird Society
The North American Bluebird Society was established in 1978, and has
certainly played a prominent role in the great “Return of the Bluebird”
populations that our continent has experienced in recent times. NABS
(The North American Bluebird Society) has an extensive group of state
Affiliate organizations all across the U.S. and Canada. Unfortunately,
although Missouri’s state bird is the Eastern Bluebird, there was no
“State Affiliate” organization for Missouri. After meeting so many
dedicated Bluebirders here in Missouri, we are happy to say that problem
has now been rectified!The "Missouri Bluebird Society " has been
formed, thanks to the efforts of dedicated Bluebirders across the state.
Following are the organizations officers & Board Members :
Steve Garr, Missouri Bluebird Society President
Greg Samuel, Vice President
Regina Garr, Secretary
Mary List, Treasurer
Jim Rathert , Board of Directors
Ann Earley, Board of Directors
Bob Siemer, Board of Directors
Stop by Birds-I-View anytime to visit with Steve & Regina about Bluebirds!
(Or any birds!) Steve spent nearly nine years as the Bluebird
Columnist for the Nature Society News. A native of Nashville,
Tennessee, Steve Garr founded the state Bluebird organization for
Tennessee, and has served on the Board of Directors of the North
American organization as well as having served as their Vice-President
and President. Steve and his wife Regina (a native to the state of
Missouri) also founded and maintained the “Shelby Bottoms Bluebird
Trail” in downtown Nashville, Tennessee, successfully fledging hundreds
of Bluebirds into this metropolitan city park for everyone to enjoy. The
North American Bluebird Society honored Steve in 2011 with the
"John & Nora Lane Award for Outstanding Contributions to Bluebird
Conservation".Steve’s 30 + years of research on bringing Bluebirds back
to the City, as well as his advice on bluebirding, are featured in the
book: The Bluebird Monitor’s Guide, Harper Collins Press. Steve &
Regina now monitor a "city" Bluebird trail in Jefferson City, Missouri and
are very excited about the opportunity to contribute to Missouri’s own
Bluebird Society!
We look forward to seeing you at the next MISSOURI
