The Missouri Department of Conservation plans to host bird bingo later this month in St. Joseph.

The event will be held from 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, March 28 at the MDC’s Northwest Regional Office at 701 James McCarthy Drive on the campus of Missouri Western State University. The activity is open to all ages.

MDC Naturalist Jada Tressler will lead bird bingo, and she’ll have binoculars and birding tips for attendees. The conservation said the outdoor activity involves watching birds of different colors that visit the office’s bird feeders. Those who spot the right combination of colors can be the first to yell “bingo.” Registration is not necessary for this walk-in program.
