Forest Foragers

As you walk through the woods, past tall trees,

pay attention to the creatures you see!

Keep an eye out for grey squirrels and raccoon cubs

who have adapted to life on the forest floors.
Snacking on wild berries and yummy bugs,
These animals are omnivores!
Meadow Critters
Call it a meadow or prairie; some call it home.
Here is where the bunnies, bugs, and birds can be seen.
In these places tall grass and flowers grow,
The meadow is a home⁠—let's keep it clean!
Nocturnal Animals
The flying squirrel spreads his arms, ready to take flight,
The owl's big eyes help him see in the dark,
The striped skunk hunts for bugs all over the park,
These creatures' power? It's staying up at night!
Backyard Birds
Birds can be seen with different beaks,
each one adapted for the food they seek.

The woodpecker's pointed beak digs into trees,

the hummingbird's long beak reaches into flowers.
The goldfinch's short beak breaks up the seeds,
each and every bird has its own special powers!
Camouflage Creatures
Animals like these blend right in—
some even look like sticks or rocks in your yard!
These animals use this power to stay hidden.
That's why finding them is so hard!
Hunting Hawks
These birds own the sky while they search for food.
With sharp talons they hunt far and wide
on silent wings with eyes most shrewd.
When hawks are hungry, rodents better hide!
