Clovis critters (Rio Rancho, Portales: yard, work, driving)

[Jimwriter]

I'm just wondering what kind of wildlife a person can expect to find in Clovis and the immediate environs? What do you see when you're in your yards and out driving around? I know antelope are in the NE corner, but do they make it down that far? Jackrabbits? Tarantulas...?

Look forward to your responses.

Thanks.....

Roadrunners, long tailed grackles, kingbirds, kites, red and silver fox, coyotes. Haven't seen tarantulas, although they are around.

I was emptying the trash into a dumpster where I work in Clovis, when a critter pulled up in a minivan wanting to sell me DVD's that were in a black trash bag on the passenger seat. No thanks.

Has anyone seen bean bugs in Clovis or Portales, they look like kidney beans and they hang around the doors at night. Ive only seen these once in Rio Rancho and that is it.

Saw lots of tarantulas last year in August up by Broadview.
