The beaver family that tried to dam the back channel down below Tile and Marble

The muskrats that lived in the backwater between BoomIsland and the high ground

The woodchucks living under the garage that mowed down my neighbor�s green pea plants

The burro (Sheba) that mowed down my neighbor�s sweet corn

The domestic �guard� geese that chased cars

The goat that ran away to Nicollet Mall

The scolding wren protecting her nest by the main garden

Huge cottonwoods, a lovely weeping willow, and several big elms taken out by a 100 mph straight-line wind

Maybe still around: 

Pheasants crowing in the morning

Rabbits in the brambles

Raccoons passing through

Brown rats munching on the grain spills along the tracks
