Wildflower Center confirms a new Owlet!

Athena the great-horned owl and baby

Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center is a magical place! Located in Southwest Austin very near to the Clint Small, The Wildflower Center has been a resource for teachers and students alike. The 7th Grade Green Students usually visit in the Spring and get a chance to explore their native trails, water education programs, cave ecosystems and the propagation greenhouses. Teachers are able to visit for various educational trainings.

Over the past decade, the Wildflower Center has had a nesting Horned Owl directly above their entry arch. It is always exciting to see Athena, the nesting owl, return to her perch, especially when a little one is there to greet guests as well. There is always a crowd excitedly pointing and taking pictures.

Please take the time to visit their site for educational materials and information about their amazing research.

Hopefully we can all visit in person very soon!
