I live in a place with a pond outside of the door. There is a small patio with chairs and a small table. Just a few feet away, there is a small pond. It is connected to other ponds by a tunnel system. I hardly ever see any animals here. However, there are many birds. Some are large white or gray birds that wade in the water. I don't know their names. I expect to see their little ones following them on walks around the pond. Others are swimmers. I see ducks sometimes. They are usually in pairs. I call them Mr. and Mrs. Puddleduck. I know there will be baby ducks. I see pairs of smaller birds looking for nesting materials. I wish I get to see some baby birds. Spring is exciting. It promises renewal and new life. I can't wait. What kind of animals do you see in your neighborhood? Are you excited for spring?

My neighbor saw a fox. I like spring, but my surgery is very close if it will be warmer. This is a bit scary because I am not prepared for it.

Foxes are so cute. You will be okay and the surgery will be fine. Concentrate on positive things. Prayers.

Sadly, spring makes me down a bit..it was Mama's favorite season and now she is gone. RIP I try to think she is having the best spring ever now though. There are many wildlife around this way in spring and all seasons too.

@wolfgirl569 You never know what could happen. I lifted the lid of my garbage can outside and saw a skunk in there. I just slid the lid back on and left him alone. He was gone the next time I needed to take out the trash.

Ducks seem to hang in pairs. It is always exciting to see foxes and deer but not raccoons when they are in your garbage can or garage.

We have a few birds here but not too many yet. Hopefully there'll be more as the vegetation grows.

Are you going into winter or summer now? I have heard that there are a lot of unusual birds and animals in Australia as well as big bugs and scary reptiles.

@JudyEv I mostly see horror stories about some creature that is out to get humans. I would like more of the beautiful and unique stories. Maybe you could post something like that.

@akalinus Luckily we have more beautiful and unique creatures than we do scary ones.

Yes, I'm very excited for spring:) We see a few squirrels scampering around. At City Park, I watch mama ducks with baby ducklings. Not yet, but very soon I'll be seeing them. Also, Canadian geese fly in and occasionally, I see deer with their fawns. Quite often, they birth twins:) Feral cats are all over the place.

That is awesome. Baby ducks are the best. I have a fond memory of watching a mama ducks and 11 babies swimming in a lake early one morning. Feral cats live everywhere, I think. A place I used to live was full of them. Residents adopted some of the babies but most were just wild.

@akalinus These ducks cross a busy highway, twice each day. People from businesses come out into the highway and block traffic, to let the string of babies pass over safely:)

I’m not excited for spring because last week it was 86 degrees, so spring will be worse. Plus, spring is prime tornado season. That being said, I can enjoy the beauty of the upcoming season, and appreciate it when I try.

I see a lot of birds, rabbits, and an occasional fox. We have a creek at the back of my apartment complex, with an awful lot of trees, so critters will come out once in awhile.

@akalinus I know nothing about them. I'm sure they are. They know enough to get off the road when a car approaches their road kill dinner.

I love cows and goats. Cows have beautiful eyelashes and goats are interesting. I read a story when I was a kid that goats ate tin cans. I have wondered about them ever since.
