From compost bins to woodpiles, North American animals make their homes in some unusual places. In a Backyard explores the sheds and treetops of our backyards, revealing the hideaways of mammals, insects, reptiles, birds and amphibians. Full-color photographs and illustrations show the variety of animals, including pond turtles, raccoons, sails, and snakes, that make the backyard their home.
