Habitat: Distinctive and characteristic surroundings, such as a pond or deciduous woodland. A habitat is determined chiefly by the vegetation. It can be a woodland area, a backyard, fruit orchard, or vacant lot. It can be as small as a tree or a rose bush and it can even be inside your home.

This can be done in one outing, but it’s more interesting if the habitat is visited more than once and at different times of day or night.
