Over the past 13 years that I've lived in this busy residential neighborhood, my yard has been visited by a Black Bear, Deer, Foxes, A Pygmy Owl, a Wild Turkey, and 100's of common mammals, insects, reptiles and birds. Using no pesticides and allowing my yard to be a non threatening sanctuary, I have encouraged and introduced well over 50 different species of plants as well. This is my attempt to record all my observations in one place.
