White-tailed Deer

A common sight in woodlands, white-tailed deer are graceful herbivores recognized by their reddish-brown summer coats, grayish winter coats, and the distinctive white underside of their tails, which they raise when alarmed.

Coyote

Coyotes are highly adaptable, intelligent animals found across a wide range of habitats, from forests and grasslands to deserts and urban areas. They are members of the dog family (Canidae) and closely related to wolves and domestic dogs.

Fox

Both red and gray foxes are common, adaptable predators. The red fox is known for its bright orange coat, white-tipped bushy tail, and black legs, while the gray fox has a grizzled gray body, reddish sides, and a black-tipped tail, with the unusual ability to climb trees. Both species thrive in our forests and fields, hunting small animals and foraging near woodlines.

Raccoon

Easily recognized by their masked face and ringed tail, raccoons are nocturnal omnivores that thrive near water, forests, and neighborhoods, foraging opportunistically in both wild and human settings.

Groundhog

Stocky, burrowing rodents with grizzled brown fur, groundhogs are most active in open fields and edges, often seen grazing in the daytime before retreating to their extensive burrow systems.

Virginia Opossum

The only marsupial native to North America, opossums are gray, with long, hairless tails and pointed faces; they are nocturnal scavengers that help clean ecosystems by eating carrion and insects.
