ya know I forgot the species, its range is holartic mainly but not that far south. Weird thing was the neighborhood was overrun with field mice, and I mean overrun. As usual this new development was once woodland and adjusting. Mother Nature sent in snakes but panicky mothers and housewives killed them in droves.
In come the owls, about six. They cleaned the place out. I got a cool pic somewhere of a big pile of mouse skulls where they roosted on my deck. I’ll try to find it..

Had a few on our deck as well just no pics when they are there. Got this one last year on our backyard light.

what kind of owl is that? The ones I see here in normally in Ohio have ear tuffs and are huge

We get a lot of birds in the pond behind our house. Only seen an owl here once, but I was unable to get a photo. Here are a few of the birds I have been able to get decent photos of.

Yupp! A worm snake, they spend most of their time burrowed in dirt. We had a lot of rain that I’m sure washed him out. Never knew about them until finding this one!

We get deer, foxes, raccoons and opossums, rabbits and squirrels. One night I saw an owl swoop down and nab a mouse or frog off the street, I thought that was so cool.

I used to have gators, black panthers (which are really just Jaguars with a black coat), and a lot of boar around in Florida. In Georgia we just deal with raccoons and opossums. I think the plants are interesting though... ferns and mosses mostly.

This is a taninger in Montana during the salmon fly hatch. The salmon fly hatch starts towards the lower end of the river then they make their way up the river and flocks of taningers follow them and eat them.
