re: #58 austin_blue

Man, I live two blocks out of Barton Springs Road on the south side off downtown Austin. It’s an easy walk into the urban core.

Surprising (and some not so) animals I have seen on my street:

Possums, Raccoons, Gray Foxes, ‘Dillos, Coyotes, Whitetail Deer, Western Diamondbacks, Barred Owls, Great Horned Owls, Screechers, Cooper’s Hawks, Coral Snakes, Ring-tailed Cats.

We are freaking abutting downtown, but we have two urban creeks a block and a half east and west of us that are animal highways.

Oh, the rattlesnake I found dead on the street was six and a half feet long with a head the size of your fist.

That would be cool—except for the coral snakes. Hard pass on that one.
