The Backyard

Welcome to our hobby page dedicated to Our Backyard!

We have a lot of fun things happening right here in our own backyard in Mid Michigan. We feed birds and have many species present every day. We also have a variety of other animals that spend either a little or a lot of time here from Squirrels, Rabbits, Opossums, Wild Turkeys, the occasional deer, ring necked pheasant, mice, and of course, our favorites, toads, frogs, turtles and other sorts of amphibians and reptiles.

I’ve been hard at work on the site. I’ve got photos now of Toads posted from September of 2008, when this project was first considered. I’ve also posted a few photos of Quincy. I’ve also been writing quite a few new blog posts about the happenings here in the Backyard. I’ve posted our entire Michigan Backyard Wildlife Journal for 2008 on our Blog. I’ve also been posting a lot of information on what has been happening in the Backyard so far this year. I’m really excited about this project. It is an awful lot of work to maintain this site, but I think it will be very fulfilling. Right now, I’m working on building our History page and up next is the Research Library. Then, I need to go back and revisit Quincy’s page and Photo Album. So, keep watching for updates. I have a lot of plans for this site.
