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

MODERATORS
Red-eared slider turtles, smooth shell turtles, stupid huge snapping turtle, four species of duck, coots (aka chicken ducks), many species of heron, hawks, rabbits, squirrels, raccoons, lots of butterflies, and the occasional bobcat.
I live in Dallas, but got lucky and found a house with a tiny bit of nature in the concrete sprawl.
I see a lot of birds. I'm on a hill and I look down on a valley with many thermals. There are storks, herons, buzzards, red kites, black kites, crows, rooks, jackdaws and magpies. I hear a green woodpecker sometimes but I never see it. There's also a blackcap, loads of sparrows, blackbirds, a tree creeper, blue tits, great tits and black redstarts. And the neighbour's two ridgebacks and their cat.
You need a roommate? I would love that life.
Used to see chipmunks. The little fuckers knew the window screens trapped my kitties from getting them and would taunt them. Turkey once at the old spot. Skunks a few times at the old spot. Dogs and cats.
Now just birds and dogs being walked by their persons. How about you?

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