Zilker Park

Our hosts took us off to Zilker Park in Austin for the afternoon. We started at the Nature & Science Center. It was a great area with wildlife exhibits, a dino pit and a workshop with microscopes and specimens. We suffered a bit in the Austin summer heat today, but managed to find shade and A/C as often as possible.

On the hiking trail, Ben announced he had determined his favorite owl is the Barn Owl. He asked me to snap their photo and I thought I'd share with you. We saw a lot of birds and reptiles, plus several mammals like foxes and raccoons.
