Wildlife in Springfield

Wildlife Scenes in Springfield

Have you ever thought of inviting wildlife into your backyard? It is possible right here in Springfield!
Our efforts to make our yard friendly to wildlife seems to have worked!
We hope you will enjoy the photos I took in our own backyard as much as we do.
(All photos are by Y. Riggs using a small digital camera without telescopic function.)

Springfield is a beautiful neighborhood to live in. We enjoy all sorts of wildlife visiting our yard in the middle of Springfield. We see bluejays, cardinals, chickadees, crows, doves, hawks, sparrows, titmice, woodpeckers, and many more birds all through the year. We even saw a hedgehog, wild rabbits, a raccoon, and a fox recently.
If you wish to have your favorite wildlife photos published on this page, please e-mail them to Tawny Hammond. Publication is not guaranteed, but we appreciate your participation.
