My wife and I plan to be at the Heard Birds of Prey
Festival on Saturday, September 15.
It may be crowded - family and children's activities go
over big in semi-rural Texas - but we like the place,
so we'll be there in the morning, and may stay through
the afternoon.
Hope to see some PDMLers there. I'll be the guy with
the PZ1p wearing glasses and a ball cap, accompanied by
a cute tall blond.

The Heard Nature Center is a wonderful place. It's a
fairly large tract of land, part hilly forest and part
grassy creek bottom. There is a gift shop and museum, a
newly constructed science center, a small area for
raptor rehabilitation, a pond, a creek, some trails,
and a really neat "No Admittance" area. If the weather
is moderate, it's easy to spend hours there. If it's
hot - well, Texas heat sends people back to their air
conditioning pretty quick.
