All kinds of wildlife can be found in our backyards, as these four photos by Teri Wilson show:



A couple cute fawns, one with a curly ear!

A nice little Green Tree Frog relaxing on a leaf...



...and a curious Garter Snake appearing on the deck...

Tom Bigley captured these images of a skittish male Western Tanager through an insulated glass window. We have had several reports of them feeding on suet, shelled peanuts and occasionally, sunflower chips.
