I moved about a year ago. It is still suburbia, but several wooded acres with a stream. Around the house I've seen deer, fox, ground hog, a couple rabbits, more deer, squirrels, an owl, a hawk once, wood peckers, black rat snake, did I mention deer, raccoons.

No cats, other dogs, coyote, wild pigs, possum, poisonous snakes, or bear.

What do you have around you?

About everything you mentioned except wild hogs and bear. Sometimes dogs and cats.

Your list and more -- but no bear, pigs, or large cats. Some harmless snakes. Lots of raptors and buzzards.

Well, we did have a bear in the area but he was a drifter from MI. I think he was put down.

We see the Sandhill Crane migration every year. That's something to watch!

Alligators, bobcats, water moccasins, copperheads, southern black racers, bald eagles, red tail hawks, and osprey. We used to have more rabbits and squirrels.

Your list plus the opossum and copperheads. Oh, and buzzards.

I'm on the east side of town which is the built up suburban side.

Dogs, cats, raccoons, possums, armadillos, grey squirrels, snakes, alligators, crocodiles, sharks, manatees, dolphins, and more types of birds than I can identify are all commonplace but I have also seen deer, coyotes, hogs, and a fox.

We have also had bears in the neighborhood but I have only seen them on the news, not in person.

Everything you mentioned plus skunks, possums, and ground hogs plus way too many buzzards, they are new over last 10-15 years. Strangely I live in 1/4-1/3 acre lot community. We shouldn't have all these.

One of the coolest things I saw was a eagle eat a squirrel in one of the oak trees. They are freaking huge, it's hard to understand how big they are until you see them at 25' away.

Tarantulas, trantula hawk wasps, scorpions, centipedes, rattlers, coral snakes, copperheads, moccasins, deer, coyotes, hawks, wild hogs, buzzards.....to name a few.

Let's see, lots of ducks, geese and other migratory birds, fewer pheasants this year than most. Hawks, owls and buzzards. Had 6 buzzards perched on the roof of my house one day, kind of an ominous sign, but I'm still here. Deer, once in a long while someone will spot a moose, or cougar. Coyotes, fox, skunks, raccoons and possum, had some woodchucks on my property for a couple years but I haven't seen any for a while. Lots of squirrels and rabbits. I caught a snapping turtle trying to lay its eggs along the side of the road, I picked it up and moved it to a safer area. There may be a few critters I may have overlooked but this is the gist of it.

Deer, possums, skunks, rabbits, and feral cats. We've seen a few snakes. We see some bees and wasps. Theres a small wooded area behind our house. Periodically we get serenaded by locusts, and serenaded, and serenaded still more. The dogs think the locusts are delicious.

Badgers, mtn lions, bobcats, skunks, deer, elk, big horn sheep, blk bears, antelope, fox and coyotes.

About the only Montana residents we have never seen are grizzly bears , mtn goats and wolverines.

Have a game camera. Lots of rabbits, raccoons, possums. Then the neighbors cat that if warned then about. Finally, a coyote that has a huge parasite load. Have had as many as five deer but development has driven them off.

Deer, squirrel, gopher, skunks, opossum, armadillo, coyotes, snakes, cattle...lots of bugs both beneficial & otherwise.
We have a couple of big cats that come through from time to time.

There is at least one pair of mated, red tail hawks. Several other raptors and carrion birds.
Oh, and I have seen a Roadrunner around lately....haven’t seen those since I was a kid.

I’m sure I’m leaving something out...

I'm in a sort of suburban area. Fairly small lot in a gated community. We have all sorts of birds in the area, including hawks, eagles, and sand hill cranes that will walk right up to you and stare at you.

Raccoons, possums, squirrels, armadillos, the occasional black bear.

Any body of water is likely to contain gators. The springs not far from here have manatees.

I killed a coral snake in my back yard not too long ago. Actually the only venomous snake I have seen in thirty years of living here in Florida. Quite a few black harmless snakes though.

A lot of the little lizard things. They probably keep the insect population down.

Fox, turkey, pheasant, quail, flickers (woodpecker), lots of tweety birds, deer, skunk, raccoon, geese, duck, American Avocet, Red Legged Stilts, hawks of all kinds, falcons, eagles (bald and golden), owls (many varieties), cougar, and coyote.

We also have bull snakes, scorpions and other insects

Deer, turkey, foxes, possum. Occasional skunk, several Barred Owls, lots of vultures. Had a woodchuck hanging around, but haven't seen him for a couple years, couple bobcat over a period of several years, and a variety of non poisonous snakes.

A family of quail that live in my neighbor's bushes but like to visit our yard, a Cooper's hawk, a male broad tailed hummingbird, robins, skunks, and cougars (not in our neighborhood, but within walking distance). One of the funniest things I saw lately were the quail walking single file across my neighbor's roof.

Everything on your list plus possum, skunks, beavers, muskrats, bobcats, coyotes, wild turkeys and bears.

Bears, Deer, Coyotes, Porcupines, Skunks, Grey and Red Squirrels, Chipmunks, Ground Squirrels, Rabbits and a wide assortment of birds.
