A bright cardinal flies overhead.
Maybe there 's a raccoon asleep in the hole ‘way up in that oak tree.
Down at the pond, two turtles are sunning on a log.

This is the world of the Houston Audubon Society 's Edith L. Moore Nature Sanctuary, an eighteen-acre oasis in the midst of Houston 's busy Memorial area. It's a world which the volunteer members of the Audubon Docent Guild love to share with tour groups of Brownies, Cub Scouts, preschoolers, garden clubs — with anyone who wants to learn to respect and appreciate our natural world.
