To follow up, I live about in the middle of the metropolitan area. I regularly see in my neighborhood deer, coyotes, deer, eagles, herons, quail, mountain beaver, raccoons, squirrels, hawks, snakes, lizards, ducks, geese, mice, etc. How many cities can boast that? :-)

Los Angeles, believe it or not. Nearly all of those (minus beavers and eagles), regularly. Helps that I live at the base of the hills, I suppose, but that's city city city to the north and south.
