A mystery skullIn our clean-up adventures we had some other fun sightings. We came across a tepee-like structure that was built entirely out of sticks and logs. We also found a few skeletal remains–don’t worry they were animal bones! A skull, pelvic bone, and some vertebrae were found from what we think was a deer. Mike also found part of a skull from some type of animal that no one could figure out what it was due to the weird “horn” shaped bones on what we think was the top of the skull. (So, if anyone knows what this might be from the picture on the right, please let us know!)
It was great to see the kids having so much fun while at the same time they were working hard to help make our planet a little nicer. I can’t wait for the next clean-up day!

Sounds like a fun and productive day…but where are the pictures?
Oops! We published before we were done editing. Take another look now, and let us know if you know what that crazy looking skull is.
Ok, we’ve been researching various skulls and skeletal remains. While we have not identified specifically this mysterious bone, we now believe it to be the pelvis of a bird (and not a skull at all).
This is interesting. What bird species do you think it came from.
Please post your further findings.
