Oh, I keep watching, Liz. All I've seen are deer, deer, and more deer; jackrabbits with huge ears, California quail, assorted toads and frogs and lizards, and three different kinds of (non-poisonous) snakes. Oh, and I saw a bobcat once, and so many varieties of birds I can't count them. And coyotes, and a fox, and raccoons, and an occasional skunk. And various rodents.

I know the bears and mountain lions and rattlesnakes are in the neighborhood, but I haven't seen them - and I don't know that I'm in a hurry to.
