Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.
RULES
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
- Keep it clean and SFW
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Lots of birds - sparrows, doves, quail, blackbirds, magpies, crows, orioles, finches, flickers, starlings, robins, wrens, hummingbirds, hawks, eagles, owls, ducks, geese, turkeys, seagulls, herons...
Plus rabbits, squirrels, raccoons, deer, foxes, coyotes...
Well... technically I almost never see the owls or the coyotes - I just hear them after dark.
There are also skunks and porcupines around, but I almost never see them either, though I do sometimes smell where a skunk has gone by. There are bobcats around too, but nobody ever sees them.
There's a roadkill skunk up the street and it's all I can smell right now. I never get to see the living ones, but it's probably best for them to be hidden.
