Ok, this is a list of critters I would be likely to find in my territory, and a few that would be rare, or were introduced. (sometimes it's hard to guess exactly where my territory lies on those little Audubon maps, and sometimes the maps are inacurrate). I'ver broken the list up into those that I have seen, have not seen and (still to come) have photos of.
update 7-2-05- Whoot! I get to MOVE some animals from the "could be found" to the "have seen" list! I saw Long Eared Owls!
