The Sunset Hills Historical Society will present a program by the World Bird Sanctuary at its monthly meeting on Monday, February 22, at 7 PM.  Jeff Meshach, Director of the World Bird Sanctuary of St. Louis, one of the largest in the country, will discuss preservation of our national symbol, the bald eagle.

“The bald eagle has truly made a comeback in the past 30 or 40 years,” said Meshach. “Last year there were 262 active nests.”

The peregrine falcon is also a popular bird here in the Midwest, with eight known nesting pairs in the greater St. Louis area.

The meeting will begin at 7:00 p.m. in the Sunset Hills City Hall, at 3939 South Lindbergh Blvd.

We look forward to seeing you there!
