The Quest for the best is done and Earth Ranger Emma is back at Earth Rangers HQ.
Today’s task is simple: a bird census in the forest surrounding the Earth Rangers Centre! But a berry thief is on the loose and causing trouble for our intrepid adventurer. Can super sleuth Emma solve the mystery?
Tune in and find out!

Emma’s back from her Quest for the Best and ready to return to work after her time away from Earth Rangers HQ!
Last season she raced across the US against Ryan to see who would win the position of podcast host and before that? She traveled the world to find missing conservationist Adelia Goodwin!

Time to get to work…

Emma has been through a lot. She very much deserves a chance to get back to her usual work. But will her time at Earth Rangers be a calm one? Or do adventures follow her everywhere she goes?!

Emma’s task of the day: Observe Birds.

Observing and “tabulating” birds might seem boring after so much running around, but it’s super fun and super important! By birdwatching over time, and keeping track of the species seen, Emma’s observations can help tell us how bird behavior (migration, numbers, etc…) changes.

Of course, it’s also really nice to see cool and colorful birds! Let’s take a look at those Emma saw in this episode…

Are you able to name all of these birds? Be sure to check over the episode if you aren’t sure!

BUT WAIT! THAT IS NOT ALL!

During her birdwatching, Emma stumbled upon a mystery: A thief!?!

Someone is wandering the forest stealing delicious snacks! Detective Emma manages to narrow down the potential criminals to FOUR different animals:

One of these four animals is responsible for stealing Emma’s blueberries right from inside her bag! What kind of crafty creature can open a backpack like that? Through some careful sleuthing, Emma should be able to figure it out!

Are you glad to see Emma back to work? What kind of adventures do you think she’ll be having next?
What about you? Were you able to find the animal thief before Emma? Or name five of the birds she saw in this episode?
