Can you find the ten secret sites by tracking changes in sunlight? This is the first weekly update of the season. Watch for news and clues every Monday.

This view is a clue from one of the secret sites:

High overhead on this January day,
a drone flew above us with its camera in play.
It did not surprise us since we'd planned its flight,
to show you our long shadows cast by sunlight.
They've been getting shorter since that last solstice day,
while our days have grown longer bringing more light our way.
