Considering that we live in the middle of a city, the stream behind the house brings in more wildlife than I ever would have guessed. Each of these photos were snapped from inside.
Birds, squirrels, and deer are by far the most common to see. We often sit at the dining room table and can see multiple deer hanging around. The other day two bucks were wrestling with their antlers while we ate lunch.
Sometimes we see rarer creatures around. We have a
Great Horned Owl that occasionally visits and a hawk that nested in a tree outside the window last year. Last summer we had hummingbird who made her nest and had two babies right outside Cash & Pierce's room window. They were so close we could've touched them (those are their little beaks sticking out).
Then there was this coyote. I've only ever seen him once and I couldn't get a good shot through the trees, but it was pretty cool to see a new visitor pass through.
On a side note we have a neighbor who doesn't love the wildlife. I went out to my car one morning to drive to work and he's standing in the driveway with a pellet gun. "I'm tired of these deer eating our tulips!"
