Great Horned Owl
Mallard Ducks (at one point 21 ducklings in the pool, along with a posse of adult males/females)
Goddamned Canada Geese
Bats
Turtles
Opossum
Skunk
Garter Snakes
Eastern Ribbon Snakes
Several species of Frog
Toads
Raccoons
Chipmunks (quite a nesting complex in my backyard, but alas 6 have drowned in the pool)
Squirrels
Mice
Moles
Rabbits
Feral Cats
20 or so other bird species not listed above (e.g., American Goldfinch, Blue Jay, Robin, Raven, etc.)
Sounds like quite the adventure. I lived along the Assiniboine River in WInnipeg's dowtown core. Very similiar experiences although minus the varieties of snake, turkey, moles and opposum to name a few.
