I live on 30 acres and treat the majority of it as a game preserve.

The animals I see regularly in our yard are deer, jackrabbits, foxes, quail and lots of birds. But I occasionally see bobcats, raccoons and skunks. There are possums but they are nocturnal and I've only seen a few. I hear distant coyotes but rarely see one. Turkeys come around during certain seasons.

Small frogs come out of hibernation and chirp in the rainy season.

There are voles and mice in the garden and lots of lizards. We have snakes, mostly gopher snakes, but also some California kings, racers and rattlesnakes.

We don't see rattlesnakes very often in our garden. When we do, I catch them and relocate them to another part of our property. They aren't a large variety and aren't aggressive. They don't want to bother anybody. They do good work eating vermin.

Mammals - deer, black bear, ground squirrels, flying squirrels, mink, coyotes, wolf, racoon, moose, skunk, beaver, bats, mice, muskrat, cottontail rabbit, groundhog, muskrat, posum, weasels.

Birds - I've had about sixty types of birds that I have either observed or overheard calling on my property. These consist of mostly songbirds, eagles, hawks, shorebirds, etc.

Fish - trout, salmon, bass, walleye, muskellunge, northern pike, about another 20 types of freshwater fish.

Turtles - blanding's, northern map, musk, painted, snapping.

Snakes - massasauga rattlesnake, hog-nosed, garter, water, dekay, ring-neck, red-belly, green, fox.

I would say that pretty much covers the majority of animals.

northerngal · Accepted Answer

Rabbits, Skunks, Chipmunks, Squirrels, Birds (various)... a 10 minute walk and I can see Deer, Beaver, Muskrat and Coyotes.

FunkyMonkee · Answer

Right now, none. But, there's probably birds about. And, if I go to the front porch, bunnies are bound to show up begging for bread.
Sometimes, at night, deer come up and forage around. During the day, they mostly stay around the bottom of my back yard.
And, every great once in a while, I'll see a couple chipmunks scooting by or raccoons scrounging about.

nolabels · Answer

Cool.

We have tons of songbirds that live in our many arborvitae bushes, and we sometimes see deer and turkeys, and an occasional fox.
No bears, though. We're a bit too suburban for bears.

A great horned owl perches on my neighbor's chimney, to the back of my house every summer.
That's pretty cool.
We see other owls, too, and Cooper's hawks, bald eagles, red-tailed hawks, great blue herons.
Ducks and Canada Geese land in our swimming pool and try to nest in our yard.
Rabbits, squirrels, snakes, lizards, salamanders.

And then there's me.
I'm an animal in a number of ways.

WindAtMyBack · Answer

The same ones you listed minus wild cats and bears. Add hawks, raccoons, opossum, mink (haven't seen them myself but neighbors have), skunks, coyote (haven't seen those myself either). Not too far away are beaver, otters and some other critters.

There are way too many birds to list. Robins, sparrows, cardinals, woodpeckers, wrens, finch and hummingbirds are all common.

Snake, turtles, toads, crawdads.

There are way too many mice. I've caught four in the last week. I need to borrow the neighbor's cat to help catch mice.

I live in Michigan in a combination of woods and farm fields with a small river running through it some 1700' off the road. I have deer, fox, coyotes, mink, ground hogs, snakes, squirrels, and rabbits. Many different kinds of birds including sand hill cranes, owls, hawks, turkeys, falcons, wood ducks, geese, mallards, robins, cardinals, blue jays, bule birds, finches, various wood peckers, sparrows, red winged black birds, Baltimore orioles, humming birds, and a few others that I don't know what they are and possibly an eagle or two as they were too far away to be sure. I love where I live.
