This week I thought I would feature one of my favorite places. The Audubon Center at Wildcats Glades in South West Missouri. The visitors center is a wonder in green engineering.
Inside is a wonderful arrangement of displays and art.
Outside the trail winds along a creek called Shoal Creek, there are bluffs and caves carved out in the limestone.
Looking out of a cave.
My wife and I spotted at least a dozen species of birds as we hiked along on a brisk fall afternoon.
The area represents one of the few chert glades in the country, a unique ecosystem.to see more of this spot visit its website at:

What a lovely Audobon Ctr. and in a wonderful setting. I'm delighted to find a blog from Kansas. Doesn't seem like too many try to show off our part of the world. Thanks for sharing.
Nice place that I would love to visit someday. I really like that the building is both green and attractive architecturally.
I love the autumn mood. thanks for sharing
I am LOVING this post! I'm from Southwest Missouri (Springfield area), though I have lived here in the desert for 6 years. That looks so much like home. But I've never even heard of that place. A nice place for a little day trip on my next trip "home." Thanks for this terrific post!
I am loving that trail. Thanks for sharing.
Nice concept of green engineering and those shots are tempting to set off on trekking.
Beautiful post of your world i would love to see that.
I enjoyed the visit to the center and the walk along the path. Congrats to them for being green!
Green engineering surely must be a huge part of our future now. This is an amazing and fascinating place that we should have more of.
Great photos of an interesting place, thanks!
