Fort Worth sits where the eastern woods break into open prairie, and the Trinity River’s west fork threads through it. The nature center on the north side keeps a small bison herd and a lot of genuinely wild bottomland, with bobcats, armadillos, and wood ducks. In town it is northern mockingbirds, great-tailed grackles, and Mississippi kites that nest in the shade trees and hunt dragonflies over the neighborhoods each summer.
