Austin Nature & Science Center

Not more than a mile from our humble abode is the Austin Nature & Science Center. We decided to walk and soon found ourselves staring at a bobcat. Of course the bobcat was in a cage, but cool nonetheless. Also present was a wily coyote, a red-tailed hawk, a pair of frolicking raccoons and a few other assorted local fauna. While small, the center is pretty nice and the pond area, which features the Eco-Detective Trail and the new Dino Pit Exhibit, is a cool reuse of an old gravel pit.
