Wild Turkeys now roam Overlook Farms. I hear them calling at dawn.

My dog flushed a turkey yesterday while I was walking her in a field in the north side of West Allis. First turkey I'd ever seen in Milwaukee County.

How's this for wildlife? There is a dead, completely flattened squirrel laying on the sidewalk in front of 1311/1313 Kensington in Shorewood. It's been there for weeks. Hey neighbor, clean up your yard!

I saw a robin on my lawn the other day. Actually, that might have been last year. Nevermind.

May is my favorite time of year for walking through our parks. Our parks are bursting in color right now, with the spring flowers and the colorful birds. The warblers are migrating to town in peak numbers. In fact, every Sunday at 8 am in May, Betsy Abert from South Milwaukee leads a warbler walk through Grant Park and neighboring parks. It's amazing the birds you will see. I love it. If anyone is interested, it starts at the WiloWay entrance of Grant Park.

We see lots of wildlife around here. Lots of deer, bunnies, squirrels, chipmunks...the "typical" things one sees in Spring/Summer. However, our faves are the hawks that live in our trees as well as a pair of Cardinals, mourning doves that we hear every morning/evening, and a woodchuck that lives in our neighbor's backyard woodpile!

The usual--raccoons, ducks and baby ducks, deer, opossums, voles, squirrels, garter snakes, bunniesbunniesbunnies. I've been watching a pair of great horned owl babies and their mom for a couple months. And the other day I saw a lone coyote in broad daylight.

Do Cubs fans count? Dr. Hughes, I have turkeys in my parking lot all the time. They are huge.

Saw a bald eagle at Bark Lake.

We have been watching the geese and their gooslings in the Estabrook pond. We have seen three families of geese.

The zebra, water buffalo, cheetahs, lions, gazelles, hyenas, and baboons are prolific this year, but the elephants eating my maize are most astonishing!

Red-tail Fox, turkey, racoon and deer were all spotted last week on our street. The deer and racoon are common, but the fox and turkey are rare. Very cool to see!

Saw a fox on Ziedler Lane near Port Washington Road in Mequon on May 10, 2009 at about 8:00 PM

We see more wildlife in our backyard than when we go up north.

Today I saw a piebald robin on madisons east side. It had nickel-sized white spots on both the dark and red areas. Resembled a calico cat.

I have a rose-breasted grosbeak on my bird feeder!

I have been particularly focused on birds this spring. But not exclusively birds. There is a collection of sightings over at the other blog: http://verruckterdeutschercampingplatz.blogspot.com/

We had a very unusual sighting in our own backyard- a Coyote

I saw my first "urban" fox crossing the street on the East Side of Milwaukee the other day. I thought I was seeing things at first, but it looked right at me - definitely a fox. (Then I did a check - yes, I was still in Milwaukee - not Fox Point ;)) Unfortunately, a few days before that, I also saw my first rat, leaving the breakwater by Bradford Beach during a heavy rain. YUCK. I'm glad I was safely shielded in my car!!!

Deer, wild turkeys, coyote, eagle, grey wolf, fox.

I've seen a herd of about 6 deer near the entrance of Grant Park. Also have seen skunks, possums, coons, peregrine falcons, coyotes.

My wife and I spotted a wild turkey in our yard near the Oak Creek Parkway a week ago whille eating breakfast.

I have had: bluebirds, orioles, red breasted grosbecks, yellow finches, cat birds, cowbirds at my feeders all at the same time. Raccoons and Deer are around all year round, I love the colors the birds bring. Also have 4 bluebird eggs in my nest box

Saturday May 9 2009 my morning I opened my drapes to pure enjoyment of 2 Indigo buntings, 3 Baltimore Orioles one female and 2 males, 4 male rose-breasted grosbeaks! They looked so pretty in my purple red bud tree in full bloom. What a fabulous day!

I HAVE SEEN RABBITS, SQUIRRELS, AND MOST EXCITING A COYOTE.

Saw some purple finches at my thistle sock and a goldfinch also. The chickadees are eating like little piggies at my bird feeder. I may have to stop or go broke! A male and female cardinal come back to my block every year.

Whitnall park: the usual deer, although I don't consider them to be truly "wild" in the sense of the word. I did see a coyote the other day just south of Grange, on the parkway. My daughter's boyfriend is kind of wild. I see him every day.

Squirrels,Robins, Mornig Dove , last fall we saw Turkeys, Ducks

Cubs fans at Miller Park

Ants!

Bart Owls, Hoot Owls, Coopers Hawk, Red Wing Hawk,Geese,Ducks,Turkey, Deer,Fox,Coyote, Squirrel, Raccoon,Possum, Woodcock, Rabbit, Voles, Moles, Mice, Muskrat, Beaver, and Mink

Turkeys driving wildly, badgering for front position, causing others to duck out of their way like skittish field mice. They can also be quite foxy and or bullish. The tortoise and hare game plays out at most stoplights: ow'll bet apes could drive better than those monkeys. Humans are wilder than wildlife.

We have a turkey nest somewhere nearby. She comes out to stroll every once in a while. We also have a fox who visits often. The deer are like rabbits in our neighborhood, just bigger, too many to count.

Coyote, deer, raccoon, Great Horned owl, opposum, chipmunks, Canadian geese, Indigo Bunting, Baltimore Orioles, Rose-breasted Grosbeak ~ all in my yard.

Our neighbor is feeding the local wildlife. As a result, we have seen wild turkeys and deer destroy our yard, which we have worked very hard over many years to improve. The raccoons she was feeded destroyed our basement window while nesting in the window well. Any kind of rodent (mouse, squirrel, chipmunk) has multiplied exponentially.

We've seen deer, 13 lined ground squirrels (NOT chipmunks!), wild turkeys, cranes, a few rabbits, red-tailed hawks, sharp-shinned hawks, racoons and toads just in our neighboring yards this spring. Still on the lookout for some foxes we usually see around this time also.

Also can't wait for the newly-approved Hooters to open up. I hear the wildlife there is fantastic!

I wasn't sure what I saw late one night running through my backyard, but after doing some research I determined it was a river otter. My husband wasn't buying it, but then about 2 weeks later he saw two dart across our street and we live a good 10 city blocks from the Menomonee River. Since they had ventured so far from the river they were completely dry and had cute fuzzy brown fur.

We have seen in our Backyard a few deer, and the latest, a red fox with 3 of her newborns playing on the hill. They are so cute. No pictures yet.

none MMSD has scared them all away

I have a bat in my wall, does that count?

A deer, in the grill of my car.

By Appleton Ave. near 107th, I was startled to see a turkey flying over my car. I heard a thunk as it made contact, but I saw it land safely on the grassy roadside. There were no scratched on top of my car so I concluded it hit the antenna. Also saw a turkey on the road to Holy Hill the same day. Have seen lots of roadkill, oppossums and other things I can't identify, one with whitish fir. Geese of course, and a duck couple walk around the subdivision, too. One goldfinch so far, and the usual other more common birds, seen also.

Four hawks this evening flying circle eights over the menomonie river near Saz's.

I have been to Horicon Marsh several times, captured images of Scarlet Tanger, Yellow Warblers, American Coot,Great Blue Heron, Sandhill Crane,Tree Swallows,Blue -winged teal,. There is some much wild life it is a my paradise to nature, best time during the week

saw a muskrat playing in a ditch along highway 100/ryan road

A huge turkey just strolled through my back yard! Toss in the woodchuck under my shed- I have a nice zoo in my backyard.

I've discovered a fox in the neighborhood. I spotted him 3 nights in the past week around dusk. 93rd and 94th St between Hayes and and Cleveland.

I spotted coyotes several times this summer. I saw one running down KK & Crawford a few weeks ago-shocked that it seemed calm as can be on a pretty busy street. Saturday morning, two of them were strolling down the sidewalk in front of my house. They seem to live in the land that WE Energies owns. WHY isn't the city trapping these? Are we waiting for a small dog to get killed first?
