wild life?

All of the above plus much much more! 😄

squirrels, rats, cows , sheep

I live in a large metropolitan area
but there are two small city lakes about 8 blocks away in different directions
and a river not too far from us.

We see eagles, hawks, falcons, mallards, Canadian geese,
black colored wild turkeys walking through the apartment courtyard.

We have seen mallards, early in the morning,
in the apartment outdoor swimming pool.

We have a lot of wild rabbits in the area.
More than once I have put out lettuce and water for a baby bunny
that seemed to get lost from his group.
But sometimes I would see a hawk on our patio, not long afterward,
and then did not see the baby bunny again.

Have seen a lot of deer in certain spots along the freeways on the way to work.
Some years they have become a serious problem for people driving.

A lot of squirrels here.
Most are gray.
But we have white squirrels in our area, too.

a nearby town has a BAN on feeding wild turkeys! seems there is/was a gang of them living in patch of wood near a middle school track. people liked to use the track for exercise and some started feeding the wild turkeys that would be brave enough to venture out of the woods. eventually they got braver and braver and started DEMANDING food from walkers/joggers! YIKES!

There are wooded areas and ponds near my place of employment. 
One year, there was a repaving of the parking lot. 
Since the lot was being worked on, 
we had to park at the very end of the lot near the trees, tall wild grasses and weeds. 

One morning, I arrived at work early in the morning.
It was still dark outside. 
I got out of my car and suddenly heard an angry, gobbling turkey.

I thought maybe his family was back there and I parked too close 
to his territory. 
But I quickly headed across the parking lot to get inside. 
Didn't want to be a woman on the news attacked by wild turkey in parking lot.
