One, the Fort Worth Nature Center is located west of Fort Worth, on Lake Worth. It's north of highway 199, west of 820. My husband and I were there in late December for just a few hours, and saw thousands of double-crested cormorants, turkey vultures, black vultures, a tern, kingfisher, etc. There are some rather domesticated and dispirited looking Buffalo as well. I'm sure the staff there could help you out about where to look and go to photograph. Watch out for the 5 pm closing time; we almost got locked in.

As to prairie dogs, there used to be a sizable town south of Fort Worth near the Tarrant County Juniou College South campus. If I remember correctly, it was off of I-20 at about Wichita Street.
Any nature/wildlife sites in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area?
