Having moved to the Williamsport area from Warren County, NJ, I wasn't quite expecting the varied amount of wildlife that has been passing through my backyard. What have you seen in your backyard (or on your porch) and what town/city do you live in?
As a start, this is what I had walking through my backyard last Fall in broad daylight (12:15 PM)

Lots of deer in the backyard. I mounted a StealthCam that is about 50' from my back window to capture what walks by. The deer have decided to take a few selfies, as seen below.

sabob - I hope the bluebird cleaned off the Jeep before leaving.....
Decided to post yet another picture of the guinea hens. I think their numbers are dwindling: started at 12 before Christmas, and now it looks like they're down to 9 yesterday. No carcasses on the road, so either a fox is getting them or their rightful owners are having "chicken" for dinner once in a while.

I live in Butler, PA.
I have two large ponds on my property and the mallard ducks stop by to eat from time to time in the warm weather.
They are due any day now.

I was born and raised in a town called Titusville PA. Haven't been back there in years but I still call it home. Growing up ( saw lots of deer crossing our fields in the back.

No mallard ducks yet but a pair of Canadian geese stopped by to fish for some food today.
There are lots of ponds in my area and they stop by here and there throughout the Spring and Summer.

Hi niaw!
Thanks for the congrats.
Thanks for sharing the deer cam photo. That's so cool.
Did we see each other on TUrtLE's thread maybe?
I posted on a lot of threads.

Saw a bald eagle right outside out hotel room while on the beach yesterday. I love the Pacific Northwest!
Sandi - yes, was probably in T-land.

Sabob-the only visitors I'd have at my bird feeders would probably be a couple of big black bears my StealthCam captured.

laceylady - yes, that is a bobcat that has set up residence in my backyard and my neighbor's backyard too. The picture was taken less than 50' from my back window.
