Wildlife in your area

[Deleted]

What kind of wildlife do you have where you live? Right now I have a few rabbit holes in my yard filled with baby bunnies and robin nests in the trees. The birds love to chirp in the early morning!  There's a pond near me, so I also see ducks, geese, swans, and the occasional crane.  There are tons of squirrels and deer around as well.

Well I live on a canal, we get a lot of birds and sometimes I see fish when they jump out of the water.

Bears! Are they black bears? How close do they get to people? I have never seen a bear in the wild.

[travelbug]

I never see any sort of wildlife... Our area just has birds/geese/fish! Nothing sweet!

[katiek]

We have lots of bunnies and our neighbourhood is infested with squirrels.

Where I grew up, we had a lot of bears and moose. I miss seeing them, they were really neat.

We have deer....lots of deer. We live in farmland so there are cows and horse everywhere. There are chickens in some of the homes too. We're near a major river so lots of fish and other birds native to Southern river land  Supposedly, there are coyotes out there too. 

Every blue moon, I see bunnies. I almost hit one this morning   Luckily he ran away in time.

We have lots of deer. Just the other morning one scared the heck out of me when I walked to my car and didn't see it standing there lol. We also have bears. Lots of birds, wild turkeys. Our fire house is on a farm so I get to play with the cows who are like giant puppy dogs. The other day we heard the coyotes in the back yard too.

Yeah there's like nothing, lol. Occasional birds and we can hear frogs at night. If we lived in a house we'd probably see tons of rabbits, squirrels, deer, etc.

I live in a "city" in a neighborhood....right on the town line so there is a wooded area behind us that we own into and then the town starts on the other side of the woods. We also have a pond ( we had it dug because it was a swamp)
Anyway, we have deer, ducks, geese, ground hogs, squirrels, rabbits, turtles, frogs, fish in the pond( no idea HOW they got there!) and have seen once or twice: fox & herons

[awick14]

We have quail, and tons on birds here. If I go over about 2 blocks I would have deer, rabbits, bear, and many more.

Yes black bear. They are pretty scared of people I have been on my porch when one was 20 feet away. I always look out the door first to make sure there's not one hanging around
We also have the occasional bob cat and coyote

We have lots and lots of deer. They are a nuisance. We also have rabbits, chipmunks, squirrels, and lots of birds. My parents live at the other end of town and they also get ducks, geese and the occasional coyote.

[wanderingenough]

We see deer, lots of rabbits, and woodchucks frequently.

When I was in college in FL I'd frequently see alligators on campus. I miss it. Haha

[melsamoony]

We have a family of rabbits that live in our yard, some deer, Fox, turtles, frogs, squirrels, and tons of birds. Our house backs to parkland so we get a good mix of wildlife. My dog and cats love it.

My backyard is full of lizards, I think they're the cutest. We often see iguanas too.

Of course, we also see a lot of aquatic wildlife. I've seen dolphins, manta rays, and even a few sharks!

I'm jealous of this, especially the dolphins!!

But then I remember all the creepy crawly things are way bigger down there and I am again happy I live here

We've by a canal and woods. We have tons of different birds (herons, ibis, cardinals, blue jays, different ducks, woodpeckers), fish, snakes, turtles, lately we have had some fox (foxes?). We also keep a butterfly garden. We currently have monarchs, queens, and gulf fritillary. Sometimes we have swallowtails. We also have lizards, frogs and toads, and large green iguanas.

That's all in our yard, or neighborhood. We live 10 min from the ocean, so we are into all the animals at the beach too. Birds, fish, sharks, and we live in a sea turtle nesting zone.

We have mostly nutria in our immediate neighborhood. They like to come hang out on our patio, eat our blackberry bushes, and tease our dog. H has named a couple of them, and tried to convince me to take in a baby as a pet.

[Deleted]

jjwritergirl no lol but they like to snuggle and try to hug. Also they like to give kisses which is really gross. They also have to have your attention. I was on the back of our tanker working and one kept grabbing my pants trying to pull me off so I could pet it lol.

[pooh8402]

deer, rabbits, foxes, coyotes, snakes, frogs and toads, lizards. kinda your typical suburbia wildlife. birds, omg birds. especially when they're in the middle of migrating, they like to hang out in our grocery store parking lots. I don't consider cattle to be "wild"life, they're livestock. we have plenty of those too--and horses, goats, pigs, I know of an alpaca farm.

[theatre4life]
