    The last one's I can remember are the two large Canadian Geese that chased me away from their nest. One of them pecked me in the *kitten* before I could get away.

    I love nature as I walk along the river each day! But those two Geese stand out far and above the other animals I have seen!

    I saw this beautiful Cougar at the gym. I wanted to go up and pet her but thought better of it.

    On yesterdays walk I saw, 1 whale, a couple sea lions, a harbor seal, 3 Osprey, a herd of Elk, a squashed possum, a squashed raccoon, a black tail deer, a black tail deer skeleton, a million seagulls, a red tail hawk, all kinds of cows and calves, a couple other hawks I did not know the names of, several dogs and cats and a pig that thought it was necessary to scare the hell out of me when he thought he needed to wolf whistle at me when I thought I was all alone. Living on the coast with the redwoods around is amazing.

    All I saw the last time I was out was a squirrel and a bunch of those fuzzy little black caterpillars....

    Oh, and some dogs walking their humans.

    Depends where I walk. Along the beach I see dolphins, crabs, seagulls and sometimes blue bottles.
    Around my home it is also a bit different:

    Cats
    Dogs (lots)
    Mynah birds
    Pigeons
    Doves
    Swallows
    Weaver birds
    lots of different kinds of lizards
    Mongoose (?geese)
    Guinea Fowl
    Monkeys
    The occasional snake
    And very occasionally a huge deer, but he hides away mostly

    Dogs being walked.
    A red kite.
    A newt (which I narrowly missed running over).

    A few little bunnies and a handful of birds. Some cows waaay off in the distance. And, of course, a million and a half prairie dogs. I get a bit worried about coyotes, since my usual trail is in established territory and the newspaper reported that the darn things have been brave enough to try to children during family walk, but I have yet to see any myself.

    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!

    that is way worse than the trouser snakes I see!!

    Came within feet of stepping on a copperhead snake, wasn't exactly thrilled about it. In the past I have seen rabbits, deer, bald eagles, hawks, vultures, ducks, geese and egrets. I know others who have seen alligators and coyotes, I've not been so lucky yet.

    Yes, a wild cougar can be a dangerous creature. Handle with care.

    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.

    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!!!
    Is your dog white?

    No, why?

    Because every time I wear white the gators always follow me.
