There is a little fox that lives near my house. He decided to wake me up this morning at 3. They are beautiful little creatures, however they have the worst sounding yip!! I also have an owl that likes to keep me up at night...that perches right outside my bedroom window and a skunk that frequently likes to leave his calling card. We have dear and 2 wild bunnies that come out to play every morning. A host of birds, including a pair of cardinals I have named Fred and Ginger, a woodchuck family, gray and red squirrels, a few chipmunks and the resident snake that lives under my front steps and a Fisher that likes to steal the neighborhood cats.
There are days I feel like Sajama Do-Little!! ;o) But I love it....

We have 2 white foxes that live right behind my house. They are so cute :) but they are the reason we don't ever let our cats outside. We have a good amount of birds, bunnies, and chipmunks. I live right near the mountains, so i've heard of a household in my area that has had a problem with a mountain lion. when i used to live in the mountains we always had deer in our yard. They are so cute too!

I live wa-a-y out in the country so there are lots of animals. Behind me there are fields that the owner mows for hay interspersed with trees, a creek, water falls, and an old spring that appears to have gone dry. By the lay of the land you can tell that the creek at sometime in its history was a pretty good sized river. In the morning I often see a herd of deer, at night I hear coyotes howling, there are fox, woodpeckers, owls, and yes, unfortunately snakes. Yeah, yeah, I know. If we didn't have them we'd be overrun with vermin. Black snakes are bad enough; it's the copperheads I really hate. And I'm sure that if I went far enough up into the hills behind me I'd run into a rattler or two. Not far from here they say there are bears, and each year hunters kill a few and get their pictures in the paper. -

We have lots of deer, raccoons, opossums and armadillos around here, and once I walked out the front door (just before daylight) and was greeted by two near-grown cougars about 30 feet away. They were gorgeous and too young to be scared of me, they just called back and forth as I stood at the door. I don't think they are listed as typical wildlife around here, so I felt lucky.
Also, we have king fishers nesting over a pond down the road. Such adorable hatchlings! And screech owls, barred owls, foxes, gray and red squirrels (one red has a white tail), and many, many others that visit off and on. -

I live on a large acreage in south Arizona and am up against national forest so I see a lot of wild life from coyotes to wild burro's and wild mustangs I love watching them all from my back deck.........
But I can do without the silly rabbits that eat my garden. -

my neighbors are the bear, lots of deer, talkative chipmunks, turkeys, fisher cats (ugh), fox, raccoons that raise their family every year under the barn, a rainbow of birds, great blue herons, loons, egrets, canadian geese, owls that sound great at night, ermine (vicious little things), and the elusive catamount.
Very peaceful here.
Oh, forgot the moose! -

Seems the skunks love to come out in the middle of the night when the windows are open. Yuck. A red fox dashes across the street early in the morning sometimes. I've crossed paths with a raccoon in the dark. Bunnies are every where. Millions of squirrels I hate them. Because of them I don't garden anymore. An owl and a woodpecker blocks over. Opossums and chipmunks. And 1 out of 3 housesholds in my neighborhood have dogs. I have a maltese and an african parret. This morning at 5am. The parret decided it would wake up the entire neighborhood. I yelled and cursed but it went on for an hour. It's interesting. -

I live on the Central Oregon Coast. We have the ocean here, but the forest goes right down to the beach in many places. We've had bear, elk, deer, bald eagles, coyotes, beaver, tons of racoons, bob cats and heron. I know I'm forgetting some of the smaller one's but this list could go on forever........ -

Tree squirrels, ground squirrels, Pronghorn and last summer, there was a Mountain lion in a tree two blocks over..
We have lots of birds also...3 varieties of doves, grackles (horrid birds!) wrens, two type that I've not found out their names yet, burrowing owls, and we know it's spring here when the turkey vultures come back to nest!

I live in city, but Washington preserves the greenery and forests. In my neighborhood, Magnolia, I am next to a park. My two most prevelant creatures are racoons and crows. At 4am I can here the racoons climbing the tree right outside my bedroom window. You here their claws scratching their way up the tree. Once they've settled in you hear a plop, plop in the ivy below. They pooped. At 5am you hear about six or seven crows sqwauking loudly outside. I live in a condo, and in some of our HOA minutes you can read that throwing things at crows does not quiet them. Well, duh, I've been dive bombed by a crow at least 4 times. If you pass under the tree where their young are they make this sound. If you hear it get ready to cover your head. They never hurt me but did make contact with their feet on my head. You know the cold water effect on men?? This makes it totally disappear. Lol
