Backyard Birds and Animals

Carefully begin to look on the ground for insects and small animals, on the leaves of shrubs and bushes for more insects, and lastly look upwards into the trees for any signs of life. When you do see a living organism and take a picture and upload the photo to this mission. You can also download the free app to your phone.
