Bob my real name is Matthew I keep forgetting to add that at the end of my
post.  I live in unincorporated Volusia county  ( Daytona Beach )  before
the St. John's river bridge near Seminole county.  I back up to a wildlife
sanctuary no one can ever build there.  I see armadillos, foxes, bob cats,
black bears ( they are a pain the a@@ ) Florida panthers.  There is a pair
of golden hawks that live back there ( learned the hard way when I rescued
my little one spirit from them )  There is  lake on the other side of the
property  we see turtles, we got rid of the gators they were being feed by
people and got to friendly with the neighborhood pets.  I stocked the lake
so there is some good fishing there.  We see an occasional wild pig and
plenty of deer, a big family of geese make there home in the lake during the
winter.  Too many birds to name are here in the winter  I moved here just
for this reason to see nature.  Reminds me of home in Kentucky when I was
growing up just no snow, chickens or horses.

Everytime a new creature shows the furball patrol  lines up in the bay
window in the back of the house  staring, chirping and making a hussy fit
for what ever is in the back yard

I have had the bears break down a window and part of the outer wall in the
Florida room  wake up to that at 4 in the morning.   I have woke up, walked
in to the kitchen  to a Florida panther standing up at the bay windows on
its hind legs staring right back at the furball patrol every one puffed up
to 3 times there size, standing their ground they all were making a noise
that I have never heard before.
