As you can see from this list 402 birds are found in Missouri. This is a lot of birds and a good sized proportion of the Unites states birds can be found in Missouri and this list may grow as climate change affects the birds and other wildlife in the area. For example birds that like warmer climates may move into Missouri and breed there. If any new birds are found and established in Missouri I will add them to this list.

(Note most accidental or one of sightings are not included.)
