In the 40+ years we've lived in the St. Louis area, we had only been to Lone Elk Park a couple of times and had never been to the World Bird Sanctuary. Why, I don't know! Both are really cool spots. With the trees in a lot of color now, we decided to head out to the woods. Lone Elk Park came to mind. Right by it is the World Bird Sanctuary. It happened to be open, so we stopped there for a while. They have a viewing area by a little museum. Apparently they bring some birds out here during the daytime. There are a lot of trails throughout the area, too, but Ken isn't a hiker, so we just looked at the bound birds and walked through the little museum.
