This organization was formed in 1945 as the St. Paul Bird Club to educate the public about ornithology and other wildlife, to collect data from amateur bird watchers, and to promote the conservation of wildlife resources. It changed its name to Saint Paul Audubon Society in 1948. The group was also affiliated with the Minnesota Ornithologists Union.
