What animals do you have around your yard?

If you could, name the city or town your in also.
Pics would be great!


What I have in my backyard are squirrels, ground hogs, all sorts of birds, stray cats, an occasional Rabbit, and once I've seen a Racoon and a Skunk.
Too urban for Deer.

A lot of Deer in the area. Actually my town has quite the Deer population problem. I'll see them snooping around the yard a lot. They get spooked easily and run off.

This is near Durand Park in the Rochester area.

We really only have squirrels and rabbits. What's funny is that I live in a really dense suburb, but there's rabbits all over. they're so cute. I love feeding them carrots lol.

In rough order of frequency:
Cats, pigeons, crows, raccoons, geese, owls, hawks, ducks (by the lake), wild turkeys, misc. other birds, dogs, squirrels, deer, skunks, and coyotes.

I live in the city, but adjacant to a very large metro-park in Youngstown.

I rescued a skunk who fell in my swimming pool this morning. I did not want to reach down and grab him with my hand (they can bite and carry rabies). I had to get a shovel and go under him and lift him out to the grass. I dont know how long he had been swimming around, but he was so tired he did not even try to spray me (of course I kept my distance). He just looked at me, shook himself of, and waddled off to the flower beds.

I mostly just see tigers and unicorns. It's pretty quiet aside from the occassional leprachaun fight. I live in Scituate, MA, 26 miles outside of Boston.
