I have maintained a backyard refuge for many years, attracting wildlife of all kinds. I am feanced off from a canal which helps protect from the alligators, but other creatures such as varies wading birds, ducks and birds venture into my backyard for a visit. The butterflies are abundunt, i see daily such species as the Skipper, Yellow Black Swallowtail, Painted Lady, Dagger, etc ... the Monarch is prevailant at fall time.
