Look for

• signs of feeding such as pine cones, nuts and fruit gnawed by animals,
  
• nest holes at the base of hollow trees or high up into the branches,
  
• insect holes and carvings in the bark,
  

Encourage your children to record their findings in a notebook, to make drawings and use a field guide to learn more about their discoveries.
