What (native) animals make their home in your backyard?

Question

I mean on your property - not in your state/country.

I asked this once before and I loved hearing back that at least some wildlife is managing to coexist with us humans.

Answer 1

I live on 10 acres in Alberta Canada

we have tons of wild animals..

mice.. birds.. deer.. and coyotees (unfortunately one killed one of my sheep a few days ago and she was pregnant too)

we have skunks.. although I havent seen one for 2 years..

and gophers (digging up the pasture).. moles... and bats (YEAH).. tons of insects too!!!

prarrie chickens... and last fall we had an interesting visitor right outside our window - a porcupine!!! he was kinda cute - I had to chase him out of our apple tree several times at night for many weeks..

squirrels.. and rabbits.. (havent seen any on our property but we do see foot prints)

an occassional moose will walk down the road but I dont think has come in the yard...

one time a cat caught a white (winter) ermine...

Answer 2

I live in a flat in Delhi, India on the second floor. I have no backyard. A few birds visit our balcony from time to time. Crows, sparrows, pigeons, a pair of barn owls and eagles.

Answer 3

Deer, lots of birds, bobcats, turkey, possums, foxes.  I live in semi-rural Nor Cal. Cool, huh!

Answer 4

In my backyard live a pair of cardinals, at least one garter snake, a number of wrens. As daily visitors I have white-tail rabbits, red squirrels, blue jays, purple martins, a variety of finches and probably countless others during the night. I live nearly downtown and still have all these.
