That would be so fucking amazing!!!!
Funny part is my neighbor game camera snapped a photo of a black bear with three cubs. I live in fairly Urban area and the amount of wildlife we have had the past two years is stunning. I called the airport manager last week to ask if they would put the eagles nest on the NOTAMS so maybe there would be no bird strikes.

Clearly not the brightest (no pun intended).

Not exactly my yard. Just up the street.

I wouldn't think to post a roadkill photo. But, I would not want to get close enough to get a photo of one that's alive. And, I don't think this animal is in the thread yet. For you big city dwellers, we see these from time to time in the California foothills. Not often. In the hot summer a few years ago, we had a plague of them coming into the yard. With indoor-outdoor cats and dogs, it was a nervous summer.

Since it's an unpretty roadkill, I tried putting it in a spoiler box but won't work?

After the Ducks at the bird feeder on Tuesday, tonight it was Woodpecker turn.

Teamwork. The deer knocks seeds out of the feeder as she eats, and the raccoon at her feet scarfs them up.

He jumped that fence. Not that section, to the left where the ground is mounded higher. But it's the only way into that area of the garden.

Got a shot of this nice bobcat in our yard today. They are more often on the outside of our fence but once in awhile they pay us a visit. Maybe he was looking for another frequent visitor, Mr. Rabbit!

Pretty well everybody showed up for breaky...

I know we have rattlesnakes in the hills an mountain by our house, but I've never seen one in our yard before, until now.

My wife is not thrilled. So, I've got some work to do in the backyard.

Not exactly "in the back yard", but in the pasture and pond right next door. Snapper turtles sunning on the dock.
