Virtual Field Trip: Wildlife Viewing at Home

Join Pam (and her cat) for some tips on making the most of at-home wildlife viewing. You may think you need to travel to see wildlife - but there's a lot of wildlife that lives at our homes, and what better time to get to know it than when we're self-isolating? If you're patient, use all of your senses, and think about where the wildlife near your home may be hiding, you might find some surprising things.

This week's challenge: Set up a cozy wildlife watching spot in your yard or in your home near a window, and try to spend at least five minutes a day there this week.
