MODERATORS
Pacific banana slugs, phantom crane flies, orange stripe bumble bees, mule deer, white tailed deer, black bears, crows, raven, bald eagle, turkey vultures, chipmunk, gray squirrels, bobcat, coho salmon in the river behind my property… a lot of very cool things to see, and we also have cougars but I’ve never personally seen one in the wild
Deer, squirrels, birds, lots of bugs, rabbits, toads, I've even seen a few snakes.
Rabbits, robins and sparrows. Starlings. Occasional cardinal. Some squirrels, maybe a cat. Couple of coyotes every year. I know there are mice and frogs about because they fall into my window wells, but I don’t see them otherwise.
Usually just fat pigeons, some smaller birds (not sure what they are), and the neighbourhood cats.
I used to get squirrels and the occasional hedgehog in my old place.
