Garland sits northeast of Dallas along the shore of Lake Ray Hubbard, and the big lake sets the tone. American white pelicans and gulls raft on the water, ospreys and bald eagles fish it, and the shoreline draws herons and wintering ducks. The creek greenbelts hold bobcats and armadillos, and the neighborhoods run to mockingbirds, cottontails, and kites overhead in summer.
