What in the Woods is That?
Our weekly guessing game!
Whatever draws us into the forest—be it birdwatching or logging, hiking or hunting—all of us are unified by the sense of wonder we feel in the outdoors. The forests, fields, and streams of our region are full of mystery, and if you stop and look closely, you’ll see all sorts of oddities.
Below find a picture of one such woodlands curio. Guess what it is and you’ll be eligible to win a copy of The Outside Story, a paperback collection of our Outside Story newspaper columns. A prize winner will be drawn at random from all the correct entries. The correct answer, and the winner’s name, will appear once next week’s column is posted.
This Week’s Entry
Each of these cones was collected in the woods around our office in Cornith, Vermont. Name all five species.
This week’s contest is closed — the answer will be posted shortly.
