Happy Habitats

We always seem to be surrounded by animals of some sort. Here are two of our habitats that we are enjoying right now.

Both aquariums were given to us by our great neighbor, Griz. We went to the creek to catch some critters and we got some crawdads, darter fish, minnows, and a sunfish. While we were there, Elijah found a $10 bill, YAY, so we went to the pet store for their .99 fish sale.



This morning, as I was out running errands, I happened upon a new critter catching spot. I took Chris and Ben there and they caught five baby Northern Fence Lizards. We dug up some plants, gathered some rocks, and used our second aquarium to set up a habitat for the little sweeties. They are only an inch and a half long...so tiny! How many can you count on this log?

I hope to add these to our nature journals soon! What critters are you enjoying?
