Wildlife in your backyard?

    It's not unusual for me to hear a rustling in my southern California backyard. If I flick on the light it might be a domestic cat or a possum.

    A couple of weeks ago I found a raccoon in a trash can.

    Last night I flipped on the light and saw a coyote come within 7 feet (2 meters) of my screen door.

    Do you ever see any wildlife interesting in your back yard?

    I don't have any much wildlife in my backyard. Just a couple of lizards and frogs in the garden.

    I'd like to see it when the boa sees the wild pig. :D

    I woke up last night late seeing a monkey in my bedroom. I mean that literally and here is even a picture to prove I'm not nuts! I tried to attach the picture but it was to large. But you can visit the site where I posted the pictures. I named her Layla.

    AHHHH! please resize your pic

    We had a family of armadillos under our porch but I chased them off cause they have leprosy, those things can jump. A whole bunch of deer and racoons are the only big wildlife we have

    I'm pretty sure I saw mightyb running around in my backyard the other night... Does that count as wildlife??? :p

    Seriously though, in my yard I usually just get birds, squirrels, chipmunks, stray cats, maybe a skunk on occasion. But once you get just outside of town, it's not unusual to see foxes, moose, bears, deer, coyotes, porcupines, wild turkeys, eagles...

    Yes, :D why waste money on pills when you can ask your friend with a car to run your feet over.


    Sounds like a good business venture actually. Wanna be my partner?

    Here is Layla on the laptop working :) She is just a few ounces and the size of my thumb. I didn't find her in the backyard but considering we were talking about animals I couldn't resist.
