Mystery Critter #24

Cordoba Vision

It’s that time again — time to play Mystery Critter. So, let’s get to it, wildlife detectives! Put on those thinking caps and let’s play.  And remember — no cheating! ;-)

CRITTER CLUES:

  • I can be found in cities, parks and farmlands;
  • I dine on small birds, rodents, and insects;
  • Some say I hover;
  • I have rust-colored markings; and
  • Both parents are involved in rearing the young.

What am I? Make your guess, and then go here for the answer and more interesting facts. Did you get it right?! If not, no worries — you’ll have another chance next week!

If you’re looking, you might have seen this Mystery Critter before.  It’s amazing what you can see when you take the time to look. No matter where you live, there is plenty of wildlife to spot. Slow down and have a look this weekend. And a listen…

Happy Halloween, my nature detectives! I know you are busy with the ghosts and goblins today, so let’s get right to it.

Put on those thinking caps and good luck cracking the case!

CRITTER CLUES:

  • I am found throughout a large part of North America;
  • My habitat is swampy forests and wet woodland areas;
  • My diet includes frogs, rodents, and crayfish; and
  • Along with a few other critters, I am a symbol of Halloween

What am I? Make your guess, and then go here for the answer and more interesting facts. Did you get it right?! If not, no worries — you’ll have another chance next week!

Between the parties, pumpkin patches, and trick-or-treating this weekend, make some time to get out and connect with the nature in your neighborhood.
