NPS A Great Horned owl from Springfield's Dickerson Park Zoo will be joining us. During lunch we'll have a Spring and Karst Walk led by Geologist Jo Schaper. She'll show us things we never imagined about Round Spring and how it fits into the geology of the region. We will also have various activity tables set up where kids can dissect an owl pellet, learn about animal tracks, play with animal puppets, check out some pelts and skulls, and investigate a possible cougar kill. These will be available all from ten until eleven and again from twelve until one. Remember to pack a lunch as there is no food available at Round Spring.
