Brainstorming Observations From Home

In a few days, I'm going to put together a list of observations you can make for CNC without leaving your home. I thought first I'd see if anyone has any suggestions. Here's my current list of observations you can make out the window or inside the house:

Look for some indoor arthropods (inspired by the Never Home Alone project)

From the window, look/listen for:

  • a bird flyover
  • an animal noise to record (bird calls, squirrels, raccoons)
  • street trees
  • animals in street trees
  • visitors to nearby fire escapes or roofs
  • things growing or living on your window sill

Does anyone have any other ideas?

I know some people have more ability to access the outdoors safely than others, but I really want to focus on something most of us can do safely and so that's why I'm only suggesting things you can observe without leaving your house or apartment. If you do plan on going outside, PLEASE stay aware of your surroundings to maintain proper social distancing.

Well, there's things like bread and produce mold, not that I want to insult anyone's housekeeping... You could even grow some on purpose ahead of time. Likewise, you can attract critters with peanut butter or nuts or seeds placed outside a window, even in the city.

perhaps insects at night attracted to a light on the building that is always left on.

Inside your light covers where the bugs go to die. All those places that probably need cleaning or that you avoid often have creepy crawlies (under sinks, spider webs in corners/ceilings).
