We live in a huge Metro area north of Wash DC...2 major streets intersect a short way from our house, but there is a drainage ditch following an old creek bed and a line of backyards with trees behind us, which allow critters to sneak down a long way from 'open areas'.

We have seen a fox, wild turkey, (raccoons & possums, of course)and both male & female deer in our backyard! (Have pics of the deer.)

It's amazing what animals will cope with when they get hungry and/or curious.
