Does the bird have to be completely red? And does orange count? Cause everybody calls robins "Red-Breasted" but they are most definitely orange. So, does the bird have to actually be red, or just called "red."

I can't participate unfortunately, we do not have fossils up here, and even if we did, we still have snow so it would be hard to dig out.
Also there arent many bugs out yet and its always cloudy
Good luck to my southern neighbours!
I realized i do not have to do them all. I will participate in the scavenger hunt this morning.

This years Scav is absolutely ridiculous, and not considerate of region, country, availability, of objects. I will not be participating in solidarity with everyone this is biased against.
There are states, countries, etc, that don't even have a red bird geographically located there.
How on earth is anyone supposed to find a fossil on their own.
Insect eggs? You realize half the people who do find these MUST disturb them to do so? They don't tend to lay them in easily spotted locations for a reason. I foresee a lot of people honestly just.. flooding ant hills to get them to bring their eggs out cause that is the easiest way to do that one. I wouldn't want to be encouraging things like that, personally.
In past years I have been able to find in at least one case every single thing on the list. It was challenging, but I could. I don't even feel this would be possible for anyone, unless museum fossils which are not outside at all count, which, kind of defeats the entire point.

I agree, plus its still snowy here in Canada, and we had an ice storm that killed like everything. Thank you for saying this!

@Zelly
I don't disagree with you on several of those points, specifically the geographic one, however, there are plenty of insect eggs that you can find without disturbing them. If you know a place with running water you can probably pretty easily find black fly eggs. A lot of common pests will also lay their eggs on the underside of leaves. It doesn't take too much researching to learn what to look for.
I might also recommend doing a bit of googling to find a butterfly garden or exhibit near you. Even if you don't know what to look for, the staff there will and probably already know where some eggs can be found.

Whoop whoop! Here we go!
[X] 1. Find some weeds
[X] 2. Find a rock with moss on it

Believe it or not, this tree does bear fruit. They're either apples or pears, I can't remember.
[X] 4. Find wild growing berries
[X] 5. Find shedded animmal hair/fur
[ ] 6. Find a flock of birds

[X] 8. Find insect/spider eggs
Spittlebug foam.

[ ] 10. Find a sunrise
[X] 11. Find a flowering bush
Does this count as a bush? hm
[X] 12. Find a flowering tree
[X] 13. Find something with a shell
Pinecones DO still have shell scales, after all.
[ ] 14. Find a baby mammal
[X] 15. Find a bird that is red
The second image is for proof that it is not just a gray bird. Hope the name tag is readable, and sorry for terrible quality.

[ ] 19. Find something goopy
