One Yard in New Hampshire

How many animals can possibly be in one small suburban yard?

Mammals

We have a surprising number of mammals that frequent our yard.

Birds

With woods behind our house and several feeders, we see many birds.

Reptiles

Reptiles are few and far between in our area, and our yard is no excpetion.

Amphibians

As with reptiles, we don’t get too many amphibians. The ones we get are cool.

Spiders

The more I’ve observed spiders, the more I’ve come to admire them.

Insects

Our gardens attract bees, butterflies, dragonflies, and many other insects.

Bugs

We also have several non-insect bugs in our yard.

Snails and Slugs

Some consider these animals pests, but I’m willing to lose a few leaves here and there.

Worms

Worms are the hidden heroes of yards and gardens.

About MIke

I've been fascinated with nature my whole life. As a kid, I spent my summers outside, net or jar in hand, catching bugs, salamanders, snakes, and anything else I could. Now, I love to garden and find ways of attracting wildlife into my yard.

Note: Unless I’ve given you the address to this site, I can’t imagine how you’ve found it. It’s very much a work in progress, and it will continue to grow as I play around!
