(34,108 posts)last fall and I have seen a couple of feral cats, off and on. I may have even seen the mama of this baby. I've also seen a gray fox just at the edge of dark one night, several possums, a fat raccoon that likes climb the tree to take down my bird feeders at night (until I figured out how to use twine to keep him from doing that), an enormous blue heron that feeds at the stream and sometime flies across the backyard (the wingspan is huge), and I even saw a large copperhead snake scoot across the back at the wood line. I let him be. There's a hawk that likes to occasionally swoop down near my bird feeder and tries to nab the slow doves that feed on the seed in the grass--I've never seen him succeed. At night I can hear an owl calling out but I've never seen it. And about a dozen squirrels, some gray and some more reddish in color. They annoy the birds trying to feed, but mostly they get along ok.
