Princess Disney goes to the school talked about in the article.

    - Oh yeah, I've spotted turkeys here too. Some sort of partridge as well. -- nm - Reagen Jun 2, 07:05 1
      - you should put a pear tree in your yard so they have somewhere to call home -- nm - decline Jun 2, 07:10

  - I was just in PTown recently. A red fox crossed my path with a bunny in his mouth. That was pretty cool. - Diva Jun 2, 06:42 4

recent years we've seen a lot of bears in neighborhoods around here. There was one a couple of townships south of me toward Philly over the weekend -- nm - decline Jun 2, 06:11
Just Google Mapping that, that neighbourhood backs onto hundreds of acres of forest. -- nm - Reagen Jun 2, 06:02 3
- But the bear had to cross a four lane hwy and likely the TransCanada six lane to get to us!!. -- nm - Walt_Disney Jun 2, 06:10 2
  - that's not a huge bother to a bear. -- nm - Reagen Jun 2, 06:11 1
    - "Oh bother" that bear definitely did not say -- nm - rollo Jun 2, 06:36
