My nature-loving son Neil and I started a project during the early days of the pandemic, in which we observed and learned about all the wild creatures that visit our backyard. With my photography and his drawing and writing skills, we created "Neil's Big, Beautiful, Boisterous Band of Backyard Beasts." Neil has continued the project for the past two years, and we are happy to present the third edition, with several new and improved photographs and brand new entries!
