Fall is in the air; the leaves are beginning to turn; and
World Bird Sanctuary's Open House event is this weekend! Open House coincides with the Fall bird migration - and this
year at Open House, we are giving you a closer look at which native birds you
might come across as they head south for the winter! That's right - it's a celebration of birds from the southern
Hemisphere - where you'll get to meet birds that you won't find anywhere else
in the mid-West!
Those in the know will tell you that the WBS Open House is
one of the most entertaining Fall events in the St. Louis area.
