Note: We built our home 50 years ago and there were many acres of forest
between our neighborhood of homes and the Hudson River, where all
wildlife lived peacefully. Over the last fifteen years, that wild forest property
was developed to build mega-mansions with river views. Now we have
deer, fox, coyote, wild turkey, raccoon, and many birds that were
displaced and have moved west into neighborhoods like ours to find
food, and my heart breaks for them because they are out of their
element. The pictures below are of some who visit our yard regularly.
