    I usually see the south end of my north bound labs as they are chasing my competition. The order of completion starts with raccoons, then pheasants, followed by squirrel's, cats, deer, and a badger once in a while. Skunks use to be part of the equation (second only to the raccoons) but my business partners got tired of sleeping outside and not being allowed to go to work with me. The rarest observation was six bald eagles perched in a tree watching a flock of geese in a slough this spring. That was special but a camera was not available to record it.

    Great idea for a thread.

    I have many critters and wildlife around the yard, so I see a bit of everything. What sticks out the most is the chipmunks as they get excited when I get near a area where they live.

    Then there are the buzzing things, wood ticks and fire ants here and there.

    ScrapperT there are 2 things we don't discuss on this forum. One is gold refining and the other is moobs. You have been warned.

    Seriously though, a few things I'm always careful of are spiders, wasps and snakes. I learned if you find a big wasp nest it's better to take care of them at night when it's cooler instead of 12 noon when it's hot and their pissed off.
