We used to have a bunch of squirrels, chipmunks, and a groundhog. Then a fox decided this was his ecological niche. He keeps down the stray cat population as well

Our dogs get their exercise by chasing the squirrels, but never catching them. We have rabbits too and the dogs actually catch one of them occasionally.

We live in the middle of Houston, our yard has a ravine that goes to a bayou and we have lots of wild life. Unfortunately we have huge rats that come to our bird feeders at night. Every morning I go out to check my traps. That is so exciting! he he

Same here but we had a pair of red tailed hawks decide to move into the neighborhood. First it was the squirrels, than the rabbits.

No joke, during hunting season, my brother usually bags the limit on rabbits, last year he was lucky to even see a half dozen.
