[Evans, Marv]

I live south of Milt and Scott in S.D. County. We have a decent amount of ravens, wood peckers, hawks (I feed a pair every afternoon), turkeys (a reduced number of them) and hummingbirds. Other than that, not much else. The number of owls seems reduced. There are a few types that migrate through during different times of the year. It seems to me and my neighbors the variety and number of animals generally have reduced a lot in the past decade, except for deer. We almost never hear or see coyotes, bob cats, racoons, skunks, or opossums. Foxes seem to have displaced them. They steel sandals and hiking boots if you leave them out.
