Wild turkeys

wen i was really little me and my bro found a baby deer and we got to pet it :) we have pictures of it

We live in a rural area and see wildlife quite often. Often we are visited by rabbits, woodchucks, bears, deer, foxes, skunks, chipmunks, and squirrels.

The small northern midwest city that I live in has several herds of deer that roam through daily. They pass through our yard and occasionally even head right down the street. They are wild animals but definitely used to the presence of people. I have spotted a coyote in the area once (out in the country). They were very rare in my state until the last few years. Bears have been spotted slightly north of us (also a new occurence for this part of the state) and someone saw a mountain lion in the county next to ours last year. We also see Sand hill cranes at this time of year which stop in the area for awhile on their journey south. Turkeys are pretty prevalent around here too although they rarely make an appearance in town by our home. Unwanted critters include bats and flying squirrels who often decide to move into our attic.

We had some very confused moose hanging around in town last winter. They were in my parents front yard, a mom and a baby. We had one in the back alley at work too. A few years ago I was coming home to my apartment at about 5 am and there were probably 6 or 7 deer eating grass in the parking lot. My parents also have the odd pheasant appear in their back yard. And once quite a few years ago my aunt woke up to discover a cow standing on her front lawn!
