Hi Sharon;
I may have to have two categories. It will depend on
how many responses I get.
A "yard" is simply the boundaries of your property.
In your case, you should be able to view the Belle
Isle Marsh from your "yard"!
A lot of people are fortunate enough to have
properties overlooking grasslands, ocean, lakes,
marshes, etc. Some folks even have a city property
and a country lot. I may have to have a City yard
list and a Country yard list; but for now, just keep
recording whatever you can see or hear from the edges
of your property using binoculars or even a scope.
Whether you win or not, I'm sure you'll have a lot of
fun trying!
Cheers;
Suzanne
