sternrichard@gmail.com</a><br># 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 --- Steve Hawboldt <s.hawboldt@ns.sympatico.ca> wrote: > Hello Suzanne, > This sounds like fun.
