Mystery Critter #42

March 13, 2010

Hello wildlife detectives! It’s that time again — time to play Mystery Critter and then head out into the world to see what wildlife you can spot.

So, put on your thinking caps and let’s get to it! And remember, no peeking!

CRITTER CLUES:

I am quite small
You will probably hear me rather than see me
I am nocturnal
My habitat is in wooded areas, near water (permanent or temporary)
I am one of TGSG’s personal faves!

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!

Whether you live in the city, suburbs or a rural area, there is wildlife just waiting to be discovered. Take some time this weekend to unplug and check out the wild in your world.

And don’t forget! Join the Wildobs community and share your wild adventures with the world.

Happy Birthday, Grass Stain Guru!

March 8, 2010

Cheers to mud pies and puddle jumping. To going barefoot in the grass and catching perfect snowflakes on out-stretched tongues.

Cheers to the feeling of sun on our faces and the taste of fresh berries picked from the garden. To sunsets that stretch across forever and to moments that last a life time.

Here’s to a million more lighting bugs and nights spent swapping stories around a campfire.

Cheers to the kids in all of us — and to the children’s lives we all touch in one way or another.

Thanks for spending this year with me, dear readers, and for always being welcome playmates in my sandbox. It means the world to me.

Now, who wants a cupcake?!

March 6, 2010

You guessed it — it’s time to play Mystery Critter! A little game to put your wildlife sleuthing skills to the test.

So, grab the kids in your world and put on those thinking caps. And remember, no peeking!

CRITTER CLUES:

You may see my home, but not me
I am a social critter, and live in a group
I am hairy!
Check for my home under the eaves of houses or in tree branches
In my adult form, I do not feed

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!

OK, now it’s time to put your nature detective skills to work in the real world. It’s starting to warm up out there — so all the more reason to get outside and see what natural wonders you can find.
