It's National Wildlife Week! President Franklin Roosevelt declared the first National Wildlife Week back in 1938--this is the 70th anniversary. This year, the National Wildlife Federation (NWF) invites us all to participate in Wildlife Watch. Go forth and explore the wonderful world of wildlife in your state, and report your findings back to the NWF. Don't know what to look for? Go to www.nwf.org/watch to find the Wildlife Watch list for your state. Don't know where to go to find these critters? Go to NatureFind.com for a listing of all of the nature-y areas near you. Here in Massachusetts we have 6 species on the watch list, including one of my favorite birds--the Eastern Bluebird. I saw my first bluebird of the year yesterday! Their blue is so vibrant, it's breathtaking.
So...what are you waiting for? Get out there!
