Squirrels, wild turkeys, a blue-tailed/lined(?) racer, and red tailed and Cooper's hawks. As for animals I've heard, a pack of coyotes, a barred owl, and a great horned owl.

Eurasian jays, they prefer it more open than you can generally find in a city so I do not really see them much where I live

also a bunch of pigeons and other corvids but I am not sure either of them count as 'wild' anymore, these birds are too smart by half

Spring has sprung here in Colorado. I’ve seen deer, elk, foxes, a mouse, chipmunks, robins, magpies, and ravens. I’ve heard a Great Horned owl but not seen it. And that’s just in the last couple days! ^.^

I went on vacation recently and saw ibises, herons, egrets, cranes, vultures, and osprey flying with fish in their talons. I freaking love big birds. Also a lot of lizards and skinks.

I saw a turtle, I think it was a snapping turtle and it laid eggs in my parents front yard. So I guess I will be seeing baby turtles soon, if the snakes don't get them.

i was blessed by 2 v cuddly stray cats some days ago

We have an big old ceramic flower pot and I've started using it to dump food waste; potato peels, the tops and innards of the jalapenos I made poppers out of, and a lot of fruits/veggies we kind of forget exist in our fridge and start going bad so we can't eat them just to name a bit.

Since I started doing this a few months ago I've seen a lot of birds. Some kind of corvid (can't tell if they're crows or ravens or what, but they are big black birds), doves, finches, and a bunch of other native species to my area. We've also had a possum friend and her babies come through this past week or so, my dog was hyperfocused on outside so I took a look and she was sitting on the edge of the pot while her babies rummaged about in the leftovers.

I've also seen raccoons and squirrels hanging out, and I've started hearing foxes now that it's nice enough to keep the windows open at night. It's so odd because they sound like humans/human babies screaming in the night >.>

Turkey watch: Someone mowed a bunch of shrubs down on one of the big empty lots by the forest, I guess to access the telephone poles and other wires, and now I've seen several more of those huge birbs in the field under the electric wires. This isn't an area where hunting is legal, they must have found a little sanctuary.

I've seen a red winged blackbird several times in the same spot on my commute to work. And there are robins attacking our back windows. :X Planted some flowers and cleaned up the yard a bit and I'm looking forward to seeing the insect population coming back, if it ever stops raining. shakes fist at sky

I saw nine peacocks in our front yard the other day. I'm not sure what percentage of the neighborhood population of peacocks that was, but wow that was a lot.

That's so cool! I'm always jealous when I hear of people with peacock gardens. They are so beautiful.

I saw a black bear crossing the road o_o

I have seen several deer lately.

Cockatoos (various species of them). They fly over our house most afternoons, screaming really, really loudly. I think they're up to something.

There's a male and female duck couple that hangs out at my poke stop. And a muskrat too! I accidentally scream each time I see the muskrat. It's not an animal I'm used to seeing. I had to text a friend that's a veterinarian to ask her what I saw. lol.

I went to the park with some friends last weekend and saw so many cute little deer! At the same park we saw little baby alligators too (Yes I'm in FL lol) Also seeing lots of bunnies lately :)

mostly birds and squirrels

Some gorgeous black and white dragonflies out in the back yard. I haven't seen any like that around here before, and we don't have any water features, so it was quite lucky! They did not let me get even remotely close, crazy good eyesight on those little guys.

I went to Missouri to visit a friend last month and they've got some neat wildlife there! Probably my favorite thing about the whole trip was the fireflies. I'd never seen them in real life before and they're incredible. Following them around in the dark was a surreal experience. I also saw several different kinds of turtle (snapping, ornate box, red-eared slider) and rescued one from the side of the road who was totally about to get run over. They have huge dragonflies in all different colors too: red, blue, green, white, yellow.

Wow I wish I could erase my experience of fireflies and see them for the first time all over again! Was it fun? I am in Missouri rn and I feel like there are barely any this year, we had a much harder winter and summer of 2018 felt like it had hundreds. But even one is kind of magical when you spot its lil blip in the dim light. Did you catch any? :D

(There are so many turtles crossing the roads here, poor little guys)

Oh, it was tons of fun...we went ghost hunting one night (I don't believe in ghosts but it's still fun to stumble around in the dark and try to get creeped out haha) and we ended up at this abandoned church in a cemetery (it's a well-known "haunted location" in Hannibal, very cool and spooky). I was chasing fireflies all over this cemetery and it was like something out of a cheesy Halloween movie, it was fantastic. XD I could have caught them but it was more fun to just follow them around.

Anyway, my friend said I was really lucky to get to see them because they were only out for about a week, according to her, and I was there for that week. The weather got really crazy toward the end of the week so maybe they all drowned. D:

I started seeing turtles everywhere. Every bump on the side of the road was a potential turtle. I wanted to save them all!

lately, a bunch of seagulls literally sounds like Jurassic Park outside =__=
