A Bit of Backyard Biodiversity

"A Bit Of Backyard Biodiversity" has been added to the umbrella.  Kayla, the project's owner, describes the project as follows...

This project is my "yard list" of organisms seen at my (and my parents') house in a suburban neighborhood near Cincinnati, Ohio. My mom has created a lovely pollinator garden in the backyard that attracts bees, butterflies, and tons of other bugs. I've been pretty amazed at what wildlife shows up to our little patch of habitat, and I hope my record of it inspires others to similarly adapt their yards to benefit nature.

This project manager has landed in our area "after living in Utah for 10 years" and maintaining a yard project there. She describes herself as "primarily a birder", who will "photograph and upload pretty much anything that looks interesting".  Many of the images in her collection are crystal clear, command attention, and are adorned by concise field notes that complete the story. Like several of us, she has a growing interest in macro photography and we'll look forward to even more images with intricate detail easily revealing the identity of the organisms that sit for her.

Also be sure to check out the ongoing parade of insects nectaring at the Mexican Sunflower featured prominently as this project's icon and in the photo to the right...
