For photographers, birds make marvelous subjects. A bird in flight is an extraordinary sight to behold, and in the spring, a male bird’s vivid coloring is nothing short of breathtaking. The World Bird Sanctuary is located at 125 Bald Eagle Ridge Rd, Valley Park, MO 63088, right next to Lone Elk. This sanctuary is home to a variety of birds of prey, including eagles, vultures, and hawks.
