As you may have noted, my favorite wildlife detectives, the Mystery Critter is a bit late this week. TGSG has been on the road talking to lots of people about the importance of play and getting outside. A special apology to @consciousshoppr and @OCPlayparks kids, who are some of my very favorite detectives!
So, let’s get to it. Put on those thinking caps and let’s play Mystery Critter! 
CRITTER CLUES:
- I am a real sign of spring!
- You can find me most places — including yards, gardens, and farmland
- My fave food is earthworms (yum!)
- I am found throughout North America
- I could be called cheery
So, what am I?
Make your guess then go to eNature for the answer and more interesting facts. You can even lend an ear!
Did you get it right?
If not, no worries. You will have another chance next week!
Get outside and explore the wild in your world. As spring unfolds, new discoveries will be around every corner.
Don’t miss a minute of the greatest show on Earth!
And don’t forget! Join the Wildobs community and share your wild adventures with the world.
See ya outside! ~ The Grass Stain Guru
Hi Bethe
We’ve been noticing lot’s of these in the backyard over the last few days. A very welcomed sound and sight.
Always fun for the family to guess-thanks Bethe!
8yo got it! Right on the nose. Hurray for him! 4yo concurred (which doesn’t always happen). Thanks for getting out there and talking about play. Your faithful followers will always be waiting for you when you get back.
