Reading on the Road

My husband took our grandson, Calvin, to Blind Pony Conservation Area to go fishing one afternoon after school. He was so excited to receive an Official Citation from Conservation Agent Trent Oberg that day. He loves looking at all the pictures in the Missouri Conservationist and Xplor magazines when they arrive in the mail — especially if there are fish in the magazine. He also loves going to all the fish displays at the Conservation booth at the Missouri State Fair. 

I know Agent Oberg sure made Calvin’s day.

MDC’s conservation agents hand out Official Citations for Being Responsible Outdoor Enthusiasts to children enjoying nature. In partnership with Sonic restaurants, the citation makes the recipient eligible for one free ice cream cone. —The Editors

Cardinal vs. bluebird

I am thankful for our beautiful state’s official magazine. The photography is wonderful, and the articles educational and entertaining. The northern cardinal [November, cover photo] is my official state bird, no offense to the eastern bluebird.
