Unfortunately, my neighbor's cat is often in my yard now, so I don't feed the birds anymore- except for the hummers, and throwing a few scraps on top of the garage. Tried telling them he was killing birds, and they caught him once, but all they did was yell at him. I tried explaining that he was only following his instincts, and the only way to prevent him doing it was to keep him in, to no avail. At least it saves a lot of money, not buying bird food.

Groundhogs

Not bad, for an urban yard- although we are about 2 miles from a nature preserve.

I've also seen a drunk guy lying in my driveway- there are lots of bars in the area :)
