At our little Nature center in NH we have a open door policy for all the local wildlife that frequent our yard and gardens.
We consider them our children and we share with them. Although once in a while we have had to relocate some of them that be came a problem or to many.


The following partial list is of what we have or have had visiting us.

Black Bear, Deer, Fisher, Martin, Skunk, Possium, Raccoon, Red Squirrel, Grey Squirrel, Chipmunk.
Red Tail Hawk, Sharp Shine Hawk, Turkey, Cardinal, Chickadee, Robin, Tit Mouse, Nuthatch, Blue Bunting,
Yellow Finch, Eastern Blue Bird, Towhee, Cat Bird, Cow Bird, Starling, Grackle, Red Wink Black Bird, Blue Jay, Morning Dove, Sparrows, Orioles,Humming Birds, Crows.
Garter Snakes, Black Snake, Turtles, Frogs and Toads,
Moles, Woodchuck, Rabbit, Butterflies.
Plus all the others that right now I Can't Remember or to many to list like bugs, beetles and so on.

For those who seem to have a issue with some of these creatures we have found that its better to find a way to live with them than fight with them.
