There's a cute baby bunny just off the edge of my deck sitting in the grass eating clover and dandelions. How cute!

Earlier today I saw a BIG gopher running across a neighbor's yard. First one I've ever seen around here, and out in the middle of the afternoon heat, too!

What kind of wildlife lives in your back yard?
 
Annex-dwellers.


That would have killed at the green room.
 
Deer all the time, and we had a cougar waltz through calm as you like about two weeks ago too.
 
I live in the country..
I see deer on a daily basis at all times...we currently have a resident doe with twins which feed in my front yard.
I have tons of rabbits and wild turkeys.
I noticed a grey fox sitting by the road at the bottom of my property line, the other day on my way to work.
Opossums, beavers, gophers...
A resident wood pecker, an owl and tons of beautiful birds.

Really? How cool!! When we lived in Alaska, I saw deer, moose, bear, salmon and wolves. Now that I live in the desert the only 'wildlife' that's passed my way are these big ass roaches they call 'waterbugs' (waterbugs my ass, I say!!), silverfish, spiders and scorpions! I have seen desert quail, roadrunners, turtles and some kind of lizardy looking thing.
 
the closest i ever got to wildlife was at walt disneys animal kingdom
i swear if you had reached out with your hand you could touch the rats running around the food courts
didnt enjoy its a bugs life after that , the joke about the bugs running past your ankles took another meaning at that point
 
A few squirrels and lot's and lot's of fox's which are looking a little drab at the moment as their moulting but come the autumn they'll have new coats and bushy tails.
 
A hawk that circles our house all of the time. If another comes close to the area, we can hear it for the longest time.
An owl, deer, bats, snakes, lizards, scorpions, snails, cats, dogs, bugs, bugs, and more bugs.
Hummm..I may have missed a few, but hell, thats plenty for me!!
oh, forgot..100's of squirrels and hummingbirds.
 
You know you've been in the city too long when...

I was on a Greyhound going home to visit my mom. As we were just getting onto the highway, passing a big field near the SkyDome, the twenty-something girl in the seat ahead of me exclaimed "Wow, look, a beaver! I've never seen one in the wild before!"

Obviously.

Curious, I looked around to see what she saw, and couldn't contain my giggles when I saw the critter scurrying across the grass.

Honey, that's no beaver. It's a groundhog.
 
Screaming damn kids!

And not the usual playful screaming, but this horrid "pay attention to me" shrieking that you should only hear if they've been run over by a delivery truck!

Screaming damn kids...
 
We have owls. Two blocks away there's a whole field where they live underground, it's cool. They sit on the mailboxes, and they're a definite awwwww. :)
 
Wild Kingdom

Mustang, Firebird, and Cougar.

However if you want to see the real "wildlife" check out my neighbour's yard.... they're newly-weds!:eek:

A bunch of birds, a few bats when the weather is right, and the family dog that just about everyone in my family hates.


:p
 
I live in the hills above my city. We have LOTS of deer up here, rabbits, owls, mountain lions (supposedly - i've not seen one, not even tracks in the two winters i've lived here), hawks, squirrels, gophers, and the usual cast of invertebrates. Interestingly, there are far less bugs than i am accustomed to in California. I think they all die off in the fucking horrible winters one has to endure here in this godforsaken part of the country.
 
Rabbits (8 at last count)

moles (at least I hope that's a mole)

chipmunks

racoons

a weiner dog (the heighbor's)

4 cats (also belonging to the neighbors)

birds (lots of 'em; bluejays, hummingbirds, goldfinch, you name it)

A squirrel or two, but they usually get the tar beat out of them by the rabbits (what the hell are they eating?)

twin anarchists that believe everything was put there for their amusement (much to the consternation of all of the above)
 
critters

birds, squirrels, cats, dogs, butterfly, skunks once in a while, and recently i had a couple of weasels who stole my gnomes from my flowerbed when i went away for the weekend.

Anyone who puts gnomes in flower beds is asking to have them spirited away for some long-distance travel - sending back only pictures at irregular intervals to reassure their anxious owner. Such is the natural setting of the garden gnome, right - on extended trips to exotic locales?
