Gonna have to unleash the spitting cobras to counteract these urine dripping, spraying cicadas.
AP story about the hidden beauty of the cicada.

Up close and personal, cicadas display Nature's artwork. Discerning beholders find beauty in bugs.
With rich reds, gentle greens and basic blacks, Nature's screaming, crawling artwork is the epitome of rare beauty — at least in the eyes of some beholders.

Yep one large timber of hundreds of acres is right behind my house.
That's not bad! I have a large stormwater run-off creek / green space behind mine. It's good for some cool birds and coyotes. You probably get cooler animals - my place in Virginia had deer and foxes and occasionally bear, but not here at the new place.
A ton of deer, turkeys and coons. Had a turkey just the other day wondering up around the house in the landscaping, not sure what was going on there. Can hear coyotes often but I have never seen one.
I’m actually getting sick of the deer and coons. They eat (destroy) all our plants.
I went the other way when we lived up in VA. I set up a trail cam and put out feed corn so I could get pictures of all the animals that came out at night. I never did get a picture of a bear, but we saw most everything else out there.
Did that last summer and saw a pack of three coyotes come a lot closer to the house than I would have otherwise expected.
That would be pretty cool - albeit slightly concerning if you have outdoor pets, chickens, etc.
We didn't get anything surprising. A LOT of activity, but all "normal" animals: deer, foxes, raccoons, possums. The initial reason for setting up the camera was because we'd had a bear stop by and bend our iron bird feeder hook in half trying to get to the bird food in there. (We were pretty certain it had to be a bear because there wasn't anything else in the area that could've done that). We have neighbors get pictures of bears, but we never did.
