We thought we’d take a look back and share some of the creatures we showcased in 2019, in our Local Wildlife feature.

Thanks to our readers for sending in their stories and photos. Keep them coming in 2020!

  Hi Rachel,
  You can submit wildlife photos to . Be sure to let us know where the photo was taken, where you live, and any background information on the animal, etc., that you might want to add. And please, do not alter the photos in any way…send them in their original jpg format/size.
  We love seeing what our readers capture when they are out and about, and in their own backyards!
