What is Street Creatures? This is the game I run on Twitter every Friday. I’ve
collected all the past quizzes here in one place so you can either relive them, or play
them for the first time.
How does it work? Provided are four, seemingly unrelated clues, that are all
connected by a wild organism that can be found in a city. Look at the four clues,
do some research, and when you think you’ve figured it out, click on ‘Answer’
to reveal what connects the clues, and how they are connected.
Follow me on Twitter to play #StreetCreatures live every Friday at 9am PST.

The Varied Thrush is one of the most iconic birds of this landscape. Learn more about the range of the thrush.
Single pitch:
This refers to the song which is often described as ‘eerie’ or ‘mysterious’. The song is simple, a single pitch which is repeated a few seconds later at a different pitch. This song in a foggy forest is quintessential Pacific Northwest.
