        Whenever an animal or bird, ones that are not very common, are spotted in our community let us know or take some pictures.  We can keep adding the comments in our comment section at the bottom of page.
 
        This is a list of various species of wildlife that has or may have been spotted around our community.  If you have seen something new, try to get a picture.  We would like to update this list. We have modified this page with a picture of the animal, bird, fish, or reptile in question so that everyone can match the picture with the name.  Click on the picture for a larger view, click on the information link to see facts about the species, and have some fun by clicking on the sounds.  You can create your own wildlife environment in your own home.  Not all of the work is done yet, because its taking some time to gather the links and information for you.  Keep checking back to see what's new.
