  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

I'm talking looking out your window, what mammals, birds, reptiles, cool bugs, or other critters do you occasionally see?

Besides birds, I've only seen red squirrels and hares.

But on my bike rides, it's been an exceptional year for animal sightings: two moose, a fox, a badger (twice), a hedgehog, a white-tailed deer, an otter, and a rat.

Deer, squirrels, birds, lots of bugs, rabbits, toads, I've even seen a few snakes.

Too many cats, the odd pigeon, a shit-tonne of ladybird larvae, maybe a woodlouse if I move a brick or slab.

Squirrels, birds, deer, owls, hawks, fish in the pond, dragonflies. My chickens in their pen. Sometimes we find luna moths. Lots of lizards, blue tailed skink. Grasshoppers over the spring months. And mosquitoes... those bastards

Lots of bunnies around here, I see them a lot. Squirrels love the fence, and birds love the yard. After it rains I sometimes come across large slugs, too. Other than that, it's mostly just neighborhood cats.

A bunch of apes walking upright.

Cows, sheep, a variety of birds, mice, and hedgehogs. I put up a bird feeder and I've been having a blast tracking all the visitors using an app.

Fish, Ducks, Birds, Dogs. I'm living at a Channel :)

Rabbits, robins and sparrows. Starlings. Occasional cardinal. Some squirrels, maybe a cat. Couple of coyotes every year. I know there are mice and frogs about because they fall into my window wells, but I don’t see them otherwise.

Usually just fat pigeons, some smaller birds (not sure what they are), and the neighbourhood cats.

I used to get squirrels and the occasional hedgehog in my old place.
