Wildlife in Fort Collins

I went on a little run this morning and when I got back my house felt sooo hot. so I opened our screen door to let some air in. That was when I saw 5-7 raccoons make their way from our Back garden area to our empty dog run. They were big too... Like medium size dogs. I have also seen foxes in my backyard (even though our fence is a pretty secure wood fence that keeps a dog in fine).

We also see tons of squirrels, a change from Utah, where they are not all over. I see at least 10 fat squirrels a day and would see more if I sat and watched. They steal all the nuts from our two walnut trees.:( I actually think that is what the raccoons were looking for as well).
