Just saw a small rabbit in front of Geekhouse Bikes on W. Sorrento St. Not like the deers that have been around Boston, but nice to see some nature in the city.
We've seen a coyote in the wee hours at Herter park. I hope my wildlife doesn't eat your wildlife. We've also had some bunnies and possums (which scared the stuffing out of me -- I thought they were giant, mutant rats). And beautiful birds -- cardinals, mourning doves, waxwings, goldfinches... and the aforementioned red-tail hawk. It's a nice change from the rats and pigeons of our last place, although we did have a very fine Peregrine falcon in the North End. Sometimes he'd leave us half a pigeon. It was an incredibly satisfying sight.
A few years ago a red-tailed hawk swooped down and seized a sparrow--thwack!--right in front of my Hopedale St. window and carried it up into a tree to eat. Changed my whole view of Allston.
A rabbit moved into the house down the street from me over here in Brighton Center. Been there a month now.
