SUMMARY:Big Muddy Speaker Series August 2025
DESCRIPTION:Islands of Life: How Urban Parks Support Birds Along the Mississippi Flyway – Presentation by Jodi Devonshire PhD\, for Missouri River Relief’s Big Muddy Speaker Series\, hosted in St Charles by Greenway Network.7 p.m. presentation (6 p.m. Social Hour)Bike Stop Cafe\, 701 S Riverside Dr\, St Charles\, MO 63301 \nEvery spring and fall\, millions of birds travel the Mississippi Flyway—a vast migratory corridor formed by the Mississippi River\, its tributaries\, and connected wetlands. These birds depend on habitat along this ancient pathway for food\, rest\, and shelter during their long journeys. But as our cities grow\, development fragments this critical habitat into small “islands” of green space surrounded by buildings\, roads\, and concrete. The connections between these habitat patches become increasingly broken\, creating challenges for the wildlife that depend on them. \nDr. Jodi Devonshire will present findings from her 2011 study conducted with researchers at the University of Missouri – St. Louis. Her team examined bird diversity and abundance in restored and remnant parks throughout the Greater St. Louis area. Their data reveals just how vital these urban oases are to the millions of birds traveling the Mississippi Flyway—and why protecting these spaces matters more than ever. \nDr. Devonshire specializes in environmental education and its impact in urban areas. She has taught various science courses\, community enrichment programs and science methods classes at both St. Charles Community College and the University of Missouri- St. Louis. Currently she\, with her husband Tony\, manages the Bike Stop Cafe\, a restaurant\, bike rental\, Katy trail tour and service company they founded in St. Charles\, MO.
