BIRDS, BUGS and BEASTS
Our Backyard Wildlife Habitats
“Lower your binoculars. See any bird or person in the full context of their being, feathers or skin. We all share the same air, same water, same earth, and same fate in the end.”
-J. Drew Lanham
“Nature will bear the closest inspection. She invites us to lay our eye level with her smallest leaf, and take an insect view of its plain. She has no interstices; every part is full of life.”
-Henry David Thoreau
Visiting Buglets
“Animals form an inalienable fragment of nature, and if we hasten the disappearance of even one species, we diminish our world and our place in it.”
-James A. Michener
