Recreating a native habitat has been a dream of mine since I was about 18. It only took me 20 years, but I finally have two acres of land in the country with which to work (and play). My goal is to document the improvements I make to the property: restoring habitat & attracting birds and butterflies in addition to other wildlife.

Great series of photos, David! I'm envious that you have frogs, I've yet to succeed in attracting any reptiles or amphibians to my yard.
Hopefully you will get some soon. You are in the suburbs, but I'd still think you could attract them.
How long have you been trying to attract wildlife? Do you have a water source?
Believe it or not, I don't have a water source yet...although I have made some progress on the pond project (I've yet to post about it). There is a drainage ditch on the edge of the property, but it has long since dried up in this intense heat and drought.
I still don't know where the frog from last month was getting by. The toad (I think it is a toad) pictured above was in the middle of the "meadow" which also surprised me.
With these amphibians showing up without a water source, I can only imagine what I'll attract once I have the pond established.
Keep trying, Julie...and let me know when you get your first frog or toad. :)
