On the better side of the nature center coin, this collection has turkeys, chickens, mallards, and an opossum outside, and reptiles, amphibians, and a starling inside. Highlights: Virginia opossum.
Zoo #220 Carrie Murray Nature Center Baltimore, MD C+
If there was a way to describe this place, it would be irrepressibly dull. Inside are reptiles, amphibians, and an Eastern screech owl. Outside are three empty raptor cages and another 2, one with Turkey vulture and the other with a red-tailed hawk.

Found out that they have/had Red kite. Forgot to put Ural owl in the list. Possibly they have White-tailed sea eagle.
