Lately I’ve been paying even closer attention to the wild babies in my woods, because they are the subject of the Cable Natural History Museum’s 2022 exhibit. Since every living thing is young once (it’s hard to imagine a baby house fly or beetle, but they exist), there’s a lot to pay attention to, and I’m asking for your help.
This summer, the museum is hosting the Northwoods Babies Photo Contest. It’s pretty simple: kids and adults of any age are invited to submit their digital photos of baby or young animals and their hard-working parents. All animals must be Northwoods natives, and may include mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish and insects. The photos don’t even have to be from 2021. If you got a great photo last summer, you could enter that, too!
