"Hi. I live in your yard."

Lately there's only been the one bird who sits folornly puffed up against the cold. I wonder where it's mate is and get sad, thinking a cat or car got to them :(

The dove calls are great around here, so soothing. My uncle hunts doves, and I always have wondered how much meat you can get off a freakin' dove?

Three (3) neighborhood cats
One (1) indoor dog (i.e. ours)
Many, many ants
Lots of Bees That Sting
Some little spiders
Assorted birds
Two (2) deer
Numerous squirrels

We only live about ten miles away from the center of town.

But then the cat came out and looked a bit too interested, so I was all 'sweetie, don't even think about trying it' and the blackbird flew away. I think her nest is in the birchtree in front of my house: there've been blackbirds singing there every morning. It's pretty worrying, because the cats in my area are savage.

Cis, you went all Marcello on your cat. You go, girl.

I discovered one of these in my yard when I was a kid.. around 10. I was soooo excited. I used to feed it sowbugs and strawberries all the time. The turtle LOVED the strawberries. Then one day, I made the mistake of introducing the turtle to the family's hyperactive Alaskan malamute named Gemini. A few days later, I never saw the turtle again, thinking it escaped into a neighbor's yard.

Seven years later, when my family redid the backyard, they found an overturned and severely scarred and overbitten turtle shell in the corner. Apparently, the dog had encountered it, played it, and left it overturned for dead. Ironically, this was just a year after the dog himself had to be put to sleep due to a irrecoverable slipped disc. :(

in february the mama fox at my new(ish) place in Brixton had babies!! we have discovered that their den/hidey hole is actually inside our garden, right at the back, although we've never actually seen them in there. big hole, dug into the ground... what else could it be?

Mourning doves, perhaps? (BTW, pigeons are a species of dove.)

I've seen possums and deer in my neighborhood. There are probably raccoons in the area, but I only see them dead at the side of the road.
:^(

As for "rats as big as cats" stories, I suspect that at least some of those sightings are actully possums. I know that they're marsupials, not rodents, but in a dim light they could be mistaken for very large rats.

My twee-est sighting ever, though, was one spring when I saw a cardinal hopping around -- and then a couple minutes later saw a girl cardinal hopping around with him. Aw...they were mating.

I live in an apartment so I don't really have a backyard. The park nearest to me has some pretty disappointing wildlife, probably because of all the damned dogs in the neighborhood, though in the mornings I can hear birds with some pretty complex song, and every once in a while I'll see ducks in the river, and not just mallards, too.

i miss the monastary:foxes, cardinals, jack rabbits,eagles, buzzards,chipmonks, squirells, possums, these little lizards, bull frogs, fire flies, etc etc etc.

more then any place i have lived.

On my initial train ride back from Portland (this is last week), the train was delayed at Tacoma because a GIANT herd of Canadian geese were blocking the tracks, thankfully near enough to the Tacoma station, such that the train could slow down and not run them over. They were all whiny and pissed off that they had to be scattered aside.

A very common site along the river near Fremont, and occasional on my street block, as mentioned above.

tiny salamanders on the porch.

and sometimes chickens and roosters that escape from the neighbor's yard

(my place) - opossums and rats. bleh.

I visited some friends last week who live on a lake; they have an otter that comes by sometimes!

* Many tiny ickle fist-sized rabbits
* A bunch of Canada geese. They are currently sprogging so I occasionally get hissed at by concerned parents protecting their delicious brood of goslings
* Moorhens - also with kiddies that look like tiny bite-size versions of mum and dad
* A couple of evil-looking herons
* A fox

No sign of the little guy anywhere.

Madly in love w/ the nesting pair of Peregrine Falcons that live in the Brooklyn detention center

there are (at least) six (6) foxes living in my backyard

four (4) are v young and seem to just play tag and wrestle each other nonstop it is wildly cute

please please please post video, pictures, vital statistics, anything you possibly can about these foxes, it is necessary to the functioning of the universe that you do this

I live in Atlanta. A few weeks ago, a fox was sitting in the driveway across the street as I pulled up, just chilling, sitting on its hindquarters like a dog. I got out and took its picture. It was totally unperturbed.

We have foxes, deer, coyotes (often heard but never seen), possums, bats, raccoons, owls. Keep in mind that we are still in the metro area, not far from two major interstates.

not the greatest quality but here are some vids
