Backyard Wildlife Game

The Backyard Wildlife Game

Goal: To see if you recognize common backyard wildlife and learn more about them

Wildlife in your backyard?

Do you think that animals seldom visit your yard? Believe it or not, there are many types of wildlife species that come out at night that we normally don’t see during the day. Many of them may even visit your own backyard.

Our friend Tom (who is a biologist), decided to set-up a motion detection camera to see what kinds of wildlife came to his own back yard at night (see photo below). Tom lives in the Sierra Nevada foothills just east of Sonora.

Do you think you have wildlife in your backyard as well?
