Ohio isn't exactly 'exciting'. In the mornings on the bike path I see 'swarms' of Cardinals. It's nice to see the color!0

I usualy see a handfull of one eyed trouser snakes....:noway:
I need a new route, mine is kinda scetchy!!0 -
I live less than a mile from a preserved wilderness area around part of a major river in my area (but very small compared to, say, the Mississippi :laugh: ). A couple if weeks ago (last time I walked there) I saw a lot of migratory waterfowl, especially Canadian Geese and a pelican, and also a red-winged blackbird. Last summer my family saw a beaver (when I wasn't there :ohwell: ).
Do ants count? There was a whole nest of them on the way home.0 -
I saw this beautiful Cougar at the gym. I wanted to go up and pet her but thought better of it.
^^^^^ bwah-hahahahaha!
I see typical American suburban animals -- dogs, cats. Usual birds are mourning doves, robins, finches, sparrows. However there is one semi-rural neighborhood I go through that has sheep, goats, and all kinds of game birds/pheasants, plus an albino peacock! That is pretty special.0 -
Several dogs, assorted sparrows, robins, crows, finches, starlings.... bunny roadkill
and a hawk circling overhead. 0 -
Around the neighborhood its not much more than the usual dogs...however I often see frogs and toads covering the roads, sometimes they jump where my foot hits the ground!

I go cycling round the new forest so I saw a lot of ponies wandering freely, rabbits, loads of different birds, squirrels, dogs being walked, a few cats. I also saw a bird of prey catch something and land to eat it. I tried to get a closer look, but it flew elsewhere when I simply moved at a distance. I think it was a buzzard or some sort of eagle, as it was pretty large. First time I have seen one close up in the wild.
Apparently there are pigs loose in the forest too, but not come across those yet. I have seen deer in fields not so long ago either. I love being surrounded by nature, and away from the city and other humans.0 -
I saw this guy and 4 manatees.
I want to live where you are!0 -
The trails I run are right along Truman lake/Lake of the Ozarks, so I see lots! Geese, ducks, fish, deer, snakes, lizards, racoons, opossums, skunks, squirrels, the occasional bald eagle, they have nests all along the bluffs, so pretty...your basic Misssouri wildlife! I love being able to exercise outside! It would be awesome to see a kangaroo or mantatee, guess I'll have to take a vacation and go for runs
Oh and there are mountain lions here...that's kinda scary! But I've only seen one from my car!0 -
Yesterday on my bike ride I saw 1 deer. I have seen up to 10 in one herd. But yesterday it was just the one.0
-
seagulls, squirrels, lizards, ants0

we have an alligator in our pond in the subdivision, luckily its a pretty big pond and he usually stays in the middle! Across the road there is horses, donkeys, and every once in a while I hear roosters crowing.0
-
I saw a wallaby the other day and today I saw a group of kangaroos...yep I live in Australia and I'm on a farm in the country....unlike what you may think that are not bounding down the main streets of the capital cities hee hee.
LOL!! One thing I want to ask, are they agressive? The other poster from Australia said she was scared of them.0 -

You must live in Florida. I live on a lake in Lakeland FL and when I walk my dog around it, there is a big gator that just stalks us (he stays in the water) and follows us. I guess he's waiting for us to go in the lake and he can have a doggy appetizer!!!0 -
What a fun topic!
On my last run I saw:
--Neighborhood dogs & cats on my way to my running path
--Canada Geese
--Regular Geese
--Some really cool looking white waterbirds (no clue what they are)
--Various small birds
--Horses
--Cows
--Lots of pigeons
--Bugs. So many bugs.0 -
This morning there were squirrels, robins, geese, and lots and lots of rabbits!0
-
I saw an alligator tail, but once i told myself they weren't native to canada, and made myself go closer, it turned out just to be a chewed up pipe... so much for too much imagination.
other than that just squirrels, chipmunks, geese and cardinals, oh and lots of dogs.0 -

Wild turkeys
Geese

I gotta find a new place to run! I'm jealous of the all animals listed above. Besides all the gorgeous doggies taking their owners for a stroll, all I get are geese. Lots and lots of geese.0

This is so interesting! Can't believe some of you see snakes on a regular basis - I live in Ireland where there are no snakes and if I saw one I would FREAK OUT. It would provide me with some good sprint training, mind you...
This morning on the beach I saw a sea otter! Very rare over here so really exciting to see. There are often seals too.
Other interesting things I see -
Irish hares
Pheasant, partridge and snipe
Herons
Badgers - occasionally as they are nocturnal
Our neighbour breeds miniature goats So cute!!
The hunt keeps their hounds down the road so I often see them out exercising.
When I go hiking I sometimes see wild goats and deer.0 -
Stepped on a cottonmouth snake the other day while running on a trail near a swamp. I didn't even realise I stepped on him until I heard it hiss and try to bite my leg.That definetly got me moving a little faster!0
-
Goats, cows, horses, chickens, and rabbits. Heard coyotes, but did not see them.0
-
I run through the ag area of the local college, lots of baby animals this time of year -
cows & calves
sheep & lambs
horses & foals
jack rabbits
cottontails
mourning doves
red winged blackbirds (love these)

hawks
I know there are snakes & coyotes out there, but thankfully neither have crossed my path (yet). :bigsmile:0 -
desert cottontail rabbits
javalina
lots of quail

Two Deers ran tentively across the road in front when I was cycling yesterday. We stared at each other when they'd found the safety of another field.
This species I think:
