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.

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.

* 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

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.
