I was just watching some deer in our yard this evening. We also have seen rabbits, gophers, frogs and other critters. Supposedly a fox has been around too.

What sorts of wildlife do others find on your property? Feel free to share pics if you like.

Mostly birds for us. Cardinals occasionally, blue jays, and quail. Our is fenced so we don't get many animals coming in.

O possums, Rabbits, Ground hogs, had a deer run in front of our house once. We have owls, Paragon falcons, and Red Tail hawks also. We even had a woodcock one year. Coyote's are seen often in our area. They run in front of our house also. Especially at night.

We live on the edge of the city by a River sized creek called Eagle Creek. It comes from a Water Reservor, Nature Preserve, and DNR Park by the same name.

Believe it or not I had a doe grazing outside my apartment balcony in the city of Pittsburgh (I live in the East Liberty neighborhood) not more than a week ago.

Cardinals, sparrows, grackles (which are hellspawn), orioles, neighbors dog and cat we have to chase out, bull frogs. We live in a trailer park on a lake which has a blue heroin that lives here, ducks, turtles and some Canadian geese that came all over our lawn this spring. We have gardens which have 3 kinds of morning glories, lot's of lillies, zinnias, tomatoes, coleus, petunias, lilac, columbine, and hopefully some nigella's. My RX-7, oh, not that kind of wild life!

I assume you mean "Blue Heron" and not "Blue Heroin" which I can understand can be quite a nuisance.

Yes, Blue Heron is it. I guess my spell checker in on something.

We live in the middle of 35 acres of woods in a very rural area and see all sorts of wildlife. We frequently have deer grazing in our back yard and last autumn had FIVE bucks, six points and up, visiting! Last spring a group of tom turkeys were strutting their stuff with their tails all fanned out and we've had whole flocks come through, sometimes with tiny chicks. Did y'all know that turkey hens do communal mothering? I've seen several hens cooperatively taking care of over a dozen babies many times. We also have grouse, foxes, and sometimes at night hear cayotes in the valley beyond us. I caught a baby rattler once and a few years ago saw what I think was a black bear at the end of our lane. Also, every time we have a good rain in the spring and summer the toads come out at night - I often have to shoo them off the lane ahead of the car while my husband is trying to drive up to the house. There are so many deer in this area that they are becoming a nuisance - last summer we saw at least twenty fawns when we normally see one or two at the most. Every fall I hope for a large deer harvest but it never seems to happen so the herd gets bigger and bigger.

Here's some wildlife I found on my friends property this past december...

We have a plethora of Raccoons and Coyotes. I saw a dead dear on my way to work today. Many in town have come face to face with Black Bears but I myself have never seen one.
