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

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. 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
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

I'm talking looking out your window, what mammals, birds, reptiles, cool bugs, or other critters do you occasionally see?

Cats, and dogs given. Plenty of birds, though I can only identify the scrubs, finches, pigeons and crows. Occasionally there could be a hummingbird, but now that I am thinking about it I haven't seen anyone with a feeder... I should get one.

There are also lizards. I am not sure if they are blue bellies or alligator lizards. We have both in the area, but they're hard to tell apart without grabbing one, but I see them scurry into the bushes along the sidewalk when I walk across the street to the grocery store.

Also rats. Sun goes down, rats are in the dumpsters and the street. Haven't seen any possums or raccoons here personally, but I am right on the edge of the city, and it wouldn't be surprising if those were also spotted around the dumpsters once in a while.
