We also have a hawk that hangs around and bathes in the pond. Not sure what kind, though. Maybe a sharp-shinned or coopers. I just call them bird hawks, since they zip through the trees and catch birds. They love it when people put out bird feeders.

Everyone in SoWal put out a bird feeder!!

We need more raptors.

There was at fox at our front door in GA last night. We have many deer in our yard due to about 4000 acres of undeveloped land behind us.

The only critter we've had at the beach house worth mentioning (other than a few snakes) is a bird that just loves to "talk" to our dog, Pepper. It always perches in the same spot in an oak tree by the pool. I love having it greet us every morning when we're at the beach.

Question: I've bought bird seed mix and also sunflower seeds for my bird feeder at the beach, and the birds at the beach don't ever eat them. Any suggestions?

I think the problem may be the feeder. You need this one. ;-)

This is what I am wondering, after seeing Barefootguy's video.
Or some sort of hybrid. But apparently Eastern coyotes can be bigger than the ones I saw in Colorado. Did he look like this? (I realize it's hard to tell the scale.)

Yes, that looks like what I saw, but it was dark so it looked gray. I'm positive that it was not a domestic dog. Thanks for the help! Have y'all decided about a job yet?

Yeah, I see them all the time, especially along the highway eating roadkill.
They certainly are large, no question about that.
Their flight patterns seem a bit different from the eagles, though, and this guy just did not seem quite like a vulture, however I did not get a good look at his head so I do not know for sure.

We see buzzards, or what they refer to as turkey vultures quite often eating roadkill along the highway. One got too close to the highway and was hit by a car itself. When we first moved into our home we were turning off of James Rd. onto our road and two bobcats ran across in front of our car as we are in a heavily wooded neighborhood. We have everything around here, foxes, possums, raccoons, owls, haven't seen bobcats in many years, but they may be around here somewhere.
