Wildlife in the neighborhood
What wildlife have you seen in your yard lately?
Probably the coolest wildlife sighting we've seen in our backyard was the Barred Owl just out our back window. A couple years ago a snapping turtle laid eggs in our front yard. We have also seen deer (of course), red fox, raccoons (sometimes whole families of 'em at once), opossums, fox squirrels, gray squirrels, box turtles, garter snakes, a racer, great horned owls, woodpeckers (pileated, red-bellied, flickers, hairy, downy, yellow-bellied sapsuckers), bluebirds, a rose-breasted grosbeak, cedar waxwings, goldfinches, house finches, purple finches, hummingbirds and other songbirds.
