Birds of Winter is six incredible weekends dedicated to celebrating the amazing birds that overwinter at Riverlands! 10,000 people will come to the 91°µÍø Center at Riverlands to marvel at Bald Eagles, Trumpeter Swans and many other raptors and waterfowl. Our aim is spark a love and joy for birds and inspire conservation action to protect them for future generations.
91°µÍø is responding to the greatest challenges facing birds and people today while anticipating the issues—and opportunities—of tomorrow. We remain focused on birds because we know their collective health reflects the health of our planet. What’s good for birds is good for the Earth.

From December through February, people of all ages are invited to join us for live Eagle Meet & Greets, guided bird walks, S'mores at the Council Ring/firepit, kid's activities, and so much more! We thank our Birds of Winter partners for helping us make these the incredible experiences possible: US Army Corps of Engineers, Missouri Department of Conservation, World Bird Sanctuary, and Treehouse Wildlife Center.
