BACKYARD WILDTHINGS
- see list below photos Nature Ali moved
to be the caretaker of the Sprague Ranch. Thanks to Reed, Ellen, and Ron for all of their help. Here is my new list of backyard critters, all photos are taken from
the backyard so the quality isn't always the greatest, but at least that keeps
the list honest. |
