We see

Deer (not enough)
Coons
Possums
Armadillos
Otters
Minks
Alligators
Bunch of birds

Crazy bird was probably the strangest. About 6 people saw it and were trying to describe it before we figured out what it was. It was a clapper rail.

God damn cats. All fricking colors and sizes. Been having a bunch of bees lately. I've seen a couple of big hawks, but the people just cut down the tree where their nest was. Caught a possom.



My property is 75x150 in Southdowns

Not a lot, as in variety. I'm on an island and the variety isn't nearly as great as it is across the channel.


Bear (both brown and black)
Deer
Squirrel
Mink
Beaver
Vole
Hoary marmots
Grouse (Ptarmigan)
Eagles
Ravans
Misc other birds

Deer
Coyote
Screech owls
Great horned owls
Red tail hawks
Red fox
Turkey
Gray and red squirrel
Beaver
Otter
Bobcat
Water moccasins
Rattlesnakes
Copperheads
Rabbits
Turtles
We have 3 ponds and a decent creek that runs all year, so where there's water

Coolest had to be the 10.5 foot gator that took up residence in our three acre pond one summer after a big flood, he swam up the creek and got fat on beaver, otter and turtles for a few months. Then greanjeans got him.

This stupid woman two houses down is a cat "collector". She had 14 last time I knew, and I had been trapping them for a while already. We had a party for the street and I was bragging about how many cats I was catching, and she went nuts on me while we all laughed.

Now, she is moving away and not taking the cats.

Too long of a list to type....

I live on the very ridge of the east side of Orlando where the massive housing industry that was pushing 5 years ago has pushed every singe type of animal to the outskirts of town.

There isnt much that exist in FL that I havent seen hanging out under my corn feeder in the woods behind my house!

Used to have everything you mentioned in the OP but bears. Now it's the neighbor's chickens, my dog, and the occasional lost crackhead.

No, Southdowns by LSU in Baton Rouge.

It seemed like as fast as I would catch them, she would replace them. At any time of the day, you can drive down the street and see at least 3 cats doing stupid cat shite

I feel like we live very close to each other.

To the OP, we have dillos, possums, foxes, owls, but nothing too cool.
