The north side of our front yard is a certified National Wildlife Federation Backyard Habitat. Really! We have a certificate! You can do the same by providing food, water, cover and places for wildlife to raise their young. It is so much fun to see all of the critters that stop by for a visit. Children love it!
I didn’t notice the cicada shell until editing. Do you see it on the tiny twig against the trunk? As a child we called the shells “crunch bugs” for the sound they made when smashed.
I have a series of posts to show you our Garden Guests. If you would like to see more posts like this one, please hop over to my Garden Page.
We do see beautiful Nighthawks in our garden, but these photos were actually taken at Shattuck Windmill Museum by my Handsome Husband. Their feathers blend so well with the bark, it’s easy to miss them. You might notice a bump on a log, but not realize it’s actually a Nighthawk.
What’s happening in your back yard?
