Fauna of my backyard



As of today, I watched there

Deer
Coyotes
Foxes
Groundhogs
Cottontail rabbits
Skirrels
Chipmunks
an unidentified turtle
an unidentified snake
Canadian geese, waterfowl (wild ducks), cardinals, crows, owls, hawks, woodpeckers, among many other birds

Roadkill near home include racoons, opossums, and skunks.

Very near our home black bears, beavers, wild turkey and lynxes have been spotted.

Since there is so much prey, I guess cougars and wolves will soon recolonize this place.
