The group has created a new bird habitat and is having a party, "It's for the Birds," to raise funds for the venture. 

This gala evening event will include wine and appetizers in the Bird Garden, a silent auction featuring decorative bird cages and artist decorated bird houses, music and dinner.

The event is slated for 6:30 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 30, at .

The guests attending this event will include major birders and first class gardeners and members of the St. Louis Audubon Society.  

When completed, the garden will include a water feature, native plants, bird feeders, benches and interpretive signs to aid in bird identification.
