Here in West Phoenix, in the middle of our sub-division (not adjacent to the green space / open space as you've got) the larger critters are limited, but we have the same arachnids, feral tail-less cats, an inflatable 4ft lobster I call Dr.Zyoburg, too damn many neighboring pit bulls whose owners leave them outside constantly, hummingbirds, phoebes, fly catches, king birds, honey bees, finches, sparrows, and fecal-prolific pigeons. Black Bears were spotted down in Tucson recently, and they are on Colbert's "Threat Down" quite often =) <BR/><BR/>All this is in contrast to my friend Gary's remark that in Chengdu China (where he and I both worked in 99-01), there's no birds, no squirrels, no wild-life other than Pandas at the Panda Preserve. ...but that's another posting I'm working on, for next week.JustJoePhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02882794348703779345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745824333843276309.post-79007753447883066622008-06-05T16:46:00.000-07:002008-06-05T16:46:00.000-07:00Here in NV at 5000' in my yard we get several kind...Here in NV at 5000' in my yard we get several kinds of lizards, scorpians, black widows, rabbits, and occasional snakes. Outside the fence there are a racoon or two, mule deer, and a roving pack of coyotes. Last summer the black bears were coming way down from the mountains due to the drout and a few were captured from a nearby neighborhood and returned.KnuckleSplitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08979553706592601644noreply@blogger.com
