the wildlife in your city

Austin has the largest urban population of bats in North America! Bats!

also lots of grackles which are nasty lil' birds.

There are birds galore. The usual robins, starlings, sparrows and crows, but also mallards, Canada geese, flickers, redtail hawks, mourning doves, herons, screech owls, purple finches and I once spotted a kingfisher near here.

You'd scarcely believe it's a suburb in a million-person metro area.

noticed Canada goslings for the first time last monday.

noticeably increased squirrel activity in the last week too, can't decide why.

tucson, az.

i should also mention i have a macrame owl on my wall!

Also seen from my locale in Vermont:

white tail deer, moose, red fox, black bear, coyotes, bobcats, wabbits, woodchucks, weasels, grey and red squirrels, chipminks, moles, mice, turkeys, red breasted & evening grossbeaks, cedar waxwings, bluebirds, chickadees, hummingbirds, red wing blackbirds, orioles, blue herons, purple and gold finches, nut hatches, flickers, downey, hairy and those great big whopper woodpeckers (pileated, I think) and a feisty salamander that crawled out of a cellar drain pipe last year. I thought it was a crocodile!
Also grass snakes, those little black harmless ones. Lots of frogs and toads too. I'm done for now.

New York is home to the North American Squirrat.

not yet. gimme time!

i don't have a backyard.

there is a coyote family living across the street from me on an urban hillside in SF. I have heard their pups howl when an ambulance goes by. I told my friend about it, and she pointed one out to me down the street when I was walking her to her car last Saturday night

The park near me supports a herd of deer. Some mornings I've seen them grazing on front lawns on my street.

In the last several years I started seeing rabbits (maybe they reached some sort of critical mass in the park, and moved out into the residential area?). The only raccoon I've seen was dead. I've never seen a fox in this neighborhood, but other people have. I see chipmunks every so often (last time, one being ineptly chased by a cat). I once saw a possum--I knew what it was and why it's harmless, but they look too much like supersized rats for my subconscious prejudices.

Then of course there are squirrels, but given their population size they probably regard themselves as the official residents and humans as the intruders. One evening a squirrel sat in a tree by the sidewalk and chittered at me in I way I couldn't not translate as "No YOU. YOU get out of MY neighborhood."

I'm in suburban Toronto. I pulled into my driveway last month, at about 8 PM on a weeknight, looked in the rearview mirror and saw a coyote walk down the sidewalk behind the car. We're at least a mile from a ravine or valley. We've been taking a lot more care when we let the cat out on his leash in the backyard.
Also saw a rat living by a pond, don't think I've ever seen one in the wild here before.

there was a muntjac in my street last night, second one I've seen

I found out last year that there are wild muntjac living in the woods nearby. Don't go walking much so I haven't spotted them yet but I want to! There's a surprising amount of nice greenery/wildlife near my area, which is in itself kind of run-down and full of litter and rats.

We have a wood behind our house. The muntjac sometimes wake us up with their loud barking. I used to only see them early in the morning, but now it can be in the middle of the day too.

We're relatively urban (directly adjacent to Chicago) but the thin line of wild growth that runs parallel to the elevated train seems to be home to a horde of wildlife. Pretty sure I saw a muskrat one day, of all things.

I was walking to the train just before dawn a few years back and saw what I thought was a big black trash bag blowing through a neighbor's yard. Only when it drifted uncomfortably near to me did I realize it was the biggest skunk I've ever seen. So those are definitely around.

just found out that muntjac are from South & Southeast Asia(!)

An invasive population of Reeves's muntjac exists in the United Kingdom and in some areas of Japan (the Bōsō Peninsula and Izu Ōshima Island). In the United Kingdom, wild deer descended from escapees from the Woburn Abbey estate around 1925. Muntjac have expanded very rapidly, and are now present in most English counties and have also expanded their range into Wales, although they are less common in the north-west. The British Deer Society coordinated a survey of wild deer in the UK between 2005 and 2007, and they reported that muntjac deer had noticeably expanded their range since the previous census in 2000. It is anticipated that muntjac may soon become the most numerous species of deer in England and may have also crossed the border into Scotland with a couple of specimens even appearing in Northern Ireland in 2009; they have been spotted in the Republic of Ireland in 2010, almost certainly having reached there with some human assistance.

regular visits from deer, coyotes, skunks, raccoons, squirrels, chipmunks, rabbits, and various birds (blue jays, robins, cardinals, morning doves, wrens, sparrows, hawks)

tbf haven't seen coyote in our yard, but have in the street

A bobcat has been creeping around the house in the early morning hours. I've been away for over a month and only just got back so I think it had been using my backyard as a crash space. Twice now, it's been creeping down the driveway, looks through the window (right at me this time) and then nopes out because the humans are back home.

That's an amazing pic. I saw one run across the road while biking and it was SO fast. Barely time to recognize it let alone get a photo.

In our suburban Atlanta neighborhood, we have deer, foxes, coyotes (heard but never seen), possums, buzzards, bats. I once had a bat lying face-up in my carport, I thought it was dead but when I poked it with a stick it started hissing. Apparently it was just cold.

Suspected this would be the revive, and that you would be the one doing it. I saw it on ND as well.

An armadillo scurried out from under our car (in the carport) yesterday. If I can trap it, I'll take it across the river and drop it off.

Went out this morning and had to wait for three deer to cross the road before I could leave. Then, after going to the post office, had to wait for six wild turkeys to cross the street, one of which fluffed its tail at me, the cocky bastard.
