Tape the rubbings into your Naturalist's Journal and label them. Find a quiet or hidden place near food or water. Sit silently and listen for at least one minute. Cup your ears to hear better. Write down every animal sound.

Walk on the Wild Side Many animals have adapted to living near people. List all sightings in your journal. Draw a picture and describe the animal's size, color, sounds, actions, and diet. Walk slowly around the yard. Just record what you see in your journal.
