We have hugely oversized kitty cats and bears coming in from the mountains 
looking for something to eat or even, in this time of drought, for water. No 
city incidents yet, but some in the towns in the East Mlountains. 
Cottontails and jackrabbits, prairie dogs (huge controversies over 
relocating them vs poisoning them), coyotes, owls, mourning doves and robin 
redbreasts, and everywhere, roadrunners.
