Name all the living things to be found in your yard at any time during the year. A dandilion for example. Or a Tiger Swallowtail butterfly, Canary Reed Grass, Colorado Blue Spruce, gray squirrel, green frog, carpenter ant, house sparrow, and so on. Names can be from today or last summer, whenever. I settle for simple names in some cases, willow, for example, without knowing exactly which three particular species of willow we have here. My total is 50, helped a great deal by mammals and amphibians from the swamp behind the house. (I didn't count bird species, wanting to know how I'd do on everything else.)
Living things in your yard
The challenge is to name live things that are in your yard or have been seen passing through. How many can you name?
