    heck, i'm on the grid and i share it already with many of those listed excepting moose and bears. not too sure of those birds being here, but we've got owls, woodpeckers, crows, and i'm not sure if those are hawks around here as they have huge wingspans. oh and there's also racoons, groundhpgs, turkeys, and i've even seen a few foxes (4 legged) in the area in the past all in a somewhat urban area.

    I'm on the grid in the SE corner of Austin, inside the city limits, and I've got deer, raccoons, armadillos, possums, foxes, feral cats, roadrunners, hawks, buzzards, crows, owls, hummingbirds, lots of other birds, and the occasional coyote wandering through my back yard. It's like the freakin' Nature Channel out there!

    No moose or bears, though.

    We're in a canyon preserve in San Diego and get deer, all sorts of rodents, seabirds, hawks, eagles, snakes, bobcats, hummingbirds, rabbits, coyotes etc. We also have owls which sit outside our bedroom and hoot all night.

    I like the hoot owls. And the loons. Especially the loons.

    What I don't have is people.

    No one mentioned skunks. Last summer my and my daughters dashounds got skunked. I was the one that gave them baths. Was really lucky that they didn,t get the 100% skunk stream. solarvic

    solarvic,
    we've got them down here too, but they only rarely come around and you know it when they do. phewwww.

    all,
    i think we've deviated enough on this and need to allow the original subject matter to continue to be addressed.

    Did you use tomato juice to bathe them? Something in tomato juice works to neutralize skunk, um, effluent, or so I hear.

    OK, back to solar stuff...
