Thread: What kind of critters do you commonly see in your area?

I live by a protected park so we get loads of different animals running around here.

In terms of birds... general songbirds, hawks, turkey vultures, bald eagles, ravens and the like.

Then we have coyotes, foxes, bears, deer, bunnies, chipmunks, squirrels, possums, moles, skunks, bobcats and raccoons.

Reptile wise... loads of toads and tree frogs, regular frogs, snakes, turtles, ect.

Of all these creatures I see most of the birds daily, I typically only hear the coyotes and foxes, squirrels and chipmunks are all around the house, I see bunnies every sunrise and sunset, and raccoons hang out by the house at night. The tree frogs can be heard almost every night and like to hang out by my pool so I see them quite often. Everything else is around but I rarely see any of them, if I ever even have.

Technically yes, but turtles are (sub)reptiles in a weird, loose sense. They possess characteristics not found in other reptile species, while also lacking certain common reptilian attributes. Turtles are fucking weird.

Never argue with Shredder.

There was that sodding squirrel in my loft that apparently just keeled over and died. Served it right for scraping and scratching around above me and making a right racket.

Sometimes (and probably increasingly soon during summertime) I get wasps, fucking hate that shit. Always ensure cans of Raid are available to dual wield, as even yellowjackets are a complete pain in the ass to have indoors. Good luck if you have worse ones.

This sums it up for my area as well. I'm in rural Pennsylvania, which to my knowledge is the most wooded state, proportionally. Saw a gray fox meandering about in the parking lot of my apartment building last week, haha.

*amphibians

I always lump them together because they are technically both reptiles, one just primarily lives in/near water.

I always hear them but rarely see them. I see more coyotes here. I did see a fox in the fall, a red one. He was running on the road. I made a noise so he would go back to the wooded area.

I live downtown so I don't see too many critters. Just the odd crow here and there. I did see some bunny rabbits that were in the parking lot to my apartment complex not too long ago.
