Well! This should be a fun thread! Okay, so as you know I live in Australia at my mums house on a largeish country type block (3 acres. I may post some pictures later but for now I will describe. |

Now that my hubby and I have over an acre of yard, we see lots of little critters around. Mainly just squirrels, chipmunks, rabbits, and birds, but they are still fun to watch nonetheless. |

Starting from scratch
Sadly, the thunderstorms that swept through Texas this afternoon tore apart a nest that a mother dove had built in our Crate Myrtle tree. Not only did the weather render her homeless but it also took from her two eggs, two eggs we found broken on the ground after the storm. She now sits in one of the fig trees of our yard cooing; a terrible way to find out why they are called Mourning doves. |

Wow, 2Fruits! Your backyard looks like a zoo with all those exotic birds! That's really cool! Thanks so much for posting those pics. Those birds would be awesome to see in person in their natural habitat! |

My back yard in the Detroit area is squirrels, squirrel pieces, our dog, an occasional not so bright cat, and the very rare skunk or possum. |

It's weird because I'm so fascinated by other peoples wildlife, I guess it's just normal to have lots of those native animals! On the other hand there's so many animals you guys have listed that we don't have in Australia! Like chipmunks, squirrels, bears, coyotes etc! Keep the posts coming guys, it's great! |

Unfortunately, I don't have much of a backyard myself, but I do have quite a bit of wildlife around where I live. I don't have any pictures at the moment, but in the following couple days, I'll do my best to go around at take some. |

It was on M72 at dusk just at the beginning of winter. I was approaching where the road crosses the highway just east of Luzerne, a few miles north of our piece of it, and this HUGE cat crossed the road in front of me... long tail, flat nose, moving FAST. |

A reliable friend of mine saw a cougar crossing the highway here in northern WI. There have been several reports lately. She called the DNR too but they were unimpressed; I don't think they believed her, but I do. |

Well, my garden literally backs on to a National Park mountain range, so we get the occasional wild animal roam down. This is what has been spotted at least once: |

That's cool. I think owls are such interesting creatures. |

I saw the film and was floored by it. |
