Thanks! The wooded area isn't my property. It belongs to a logging company, and they don't mind if the locals use it for recreation, which is nice. And yes, there are lots of places for predators to hide in wait!
There are barred owls, coyotes, foxes, opossums, probably racoons, hawks, and probably more. There are mountain lions running around too, but I haven't seen any here. They have been seen a few miles away, though.
"Home of the World's Largest Egg"? Care to tell us about that? Or have you already done so and I just missed it?
