Wildlife in my back yard

[Apex]

Have seen a small grey fox a bunch of times during the past 7 months, usually after sundown, right when it's almost too dark to see anything, it shows up.

Patty and I enjoy sitting on our back deck when the weather permits, just quietly watching the birds and what ever wildlife happens along. About 5 years ago I heard branches snapping in the dark about 40 feet away, the sound only a large animal could make. It was spooky, and the next day I heard on the local news that a female black bear was captured a block away and relocated in the bush.

No bears around here, and far enough from the Everglades so deer and [I think] small cougars or whatever don't show.  Sometimes people living near canals, esp in the county to the north, spot alligators, there was even one spotted in Lake Osceola at the Univ of Miami sometime ago, they swim in through canals and waterways. 

There's a lot of pythons now in the 'Glades, pets released by their owners mainly because the owners didn't realize that the "cute lil' critters" get really, really big when they grow up, so far, nothing like that.

Oh, 4-legged wildlife -- thought, maybe, you were doing something you ought not behind the house...
