Mizzou Journalism Major Megan Mesikapp interviews Bird Man Mel

Spring has arrived, bringing with it something extraordinary along the 3M Branch-Hinkson Creek Wetlands Trail.
“Migration turns the wetlands into something even more alive.”
Every spring, as temperatures climb and daylight stretches longer, thousands of birds take to the skies and follow ancient invisible highways northward. The 3M Wetland Trail becomes a busy layover stop — a place to rest, refuel, and ready themselves for the next leg of their incredible journey.
University of Missouri Journalism Major Megan Mesikapp sat down with the one and only Bird Man Mel and others to talk about the 3M Wetlands Trail. Mel breaks down which species are moving, what conditions to look for, and why this particular time of year at the wetlands is unlike any other.
Whether you’re a seasoned birder with a life list or someone who just wants to step outside and pay attention, the First Friday Bird Walks are your invitation. Join us this spring! The wetlands are waking up — and you won’t want to miss it.
