Camp 1, 2017 "Mystery Creature: Who Am I?" Clues

Hi everyone:

Each week of camps we give clues to the campers to try to guess a mystery creature.  

Clue 1:  I am small and live in forests areas with lots of bush and open spaces.

Clue 2:  In the wild, humans and foxes eat it me. 

Clue 3: I am considered a tasty treat in the Far East. Maybe that is why I am a very nervous bird!

Clue 4: I love to eat grass and bugs in the wild but here at the camps I eat turkey crumble

What I am will be revealed Friday just before the island amazing race.

Reef Ball Project Update: June 2017

Hi everyone:

Its been a while since we checked in and gave an update about the camps Reef Ball project.  Our reef ball has been the bay for over 45 days now and life is slowly taking a liking to the artificial reef.  So far, we've seen Seastars, periwinkles, barnacles, Cunners (a small perch-like fish) and a rock using the artificial reef.

We will be collecting data and submitting it to iNaturalist.  I great app for your computer, tablet or smart phone for all of us to become citizen scientist and contribute to document the amazing life all around us.  To learn more and to create your own account, please visit the iNaturalist website at http://inaturalist.ca/ Once your logged in look for our Indian Point Young Naturalist Club's Reef Ball project to see our latest observations.

Below are photos of the reef ball Scott took the begin of June with the camps underwater camera that all the campers will have a chance to use this summer.

Peace, love and having a looking forward in having a reef ball this summer,
