We have a lot of toads that come out from under the rocks next to the building(right where many of my plants are). Plus, there is a vacant lot next door with tons of birds and bats(and unfortunately deer). There are also hawks, but I think they concentrate on the large number of pigeons that hang out at a nearby feed store warehouse, as they're easy pickin's.

Very interesting question. I live in a neighborhood of 1 acre places. My neighbor let's her large back yard remain fallow and when I mow it for her I often see snakes.

We have an assortment of critters including the ones you mention. What seems to be missing this year are frogs/toads. In the past, they hang out in the irrigation ditch when it fills up.

I have been considering making a little 'island' that gets landscaped and maintained for harboring beneficial insects, reptiles, and birds. It would contain deep grass/weeds, some suitable bushes, and trees. I have some birdhouses, but I need to set up more.

I also need to put in a dog door so that our small dog can keep the cats away. Our dog knows that she's not allowed to chase ducks and geese, but squirrels, cats, and small birds are fair game. (She can't catch the small birds, so it's just sport for her).

I had a hawk nest in the flicker box one year, and enjoyed watching her/him perch in a tree eating some sort of rodent.

Our neighborhood is mostly 1 acre lots, but most are at least partially un-landscaped woodlands. Plus my next-door neighbor backs up to a 100+ acre nature preserve, and my woodlands connects to that. So we've got nature in spades!

We named the toad that must have lived near the veggie garden last year Ted. It got so he or she didn't jump away if we came for veggies while he was hunting, so we got to observe him well. His neighbor in the herb patch had a home under one of my shrubs in a hole - saw her (him?) jumping into there a few times. I've been looking for them both, and haven't seen them yet. Tomorrow's my average last frost date, so I hope to see them soon.

We have snakes of various sorts. We have bats, too. I still need to borrow or rent a ladder tall enough to hang the bat houses high enough. Meantime, they were found behind our shutters when we had the house painted a couple years ago, and I yelled at the painters for killing one. (Who would kill a bat? Horrors!)

We have tons of butterflies, attracted by the perennials I chose for them. I haven't noticed any honey bees. I'm told that honeybee colony collapse has reached NH. We do have loads of bumblebees and wasps of various beneficial & not types. I'm thinking of setting up some of those wasp tunnel things this summer.

I have mixed feelings about it for wildlife and cat safety reasons both, but we let our two cats out. One couldn't catch anything to save her life, but the other single-handedly has a rather large impact on rodent life. I can't remember her catching a bird, interestingly.

Although we see deer in the neighborhood from time to time, they don't seem to come out of the woodlands often. (Which is smart of them.) I don't tend to have a problem with deer chomping my garden, which feels lucky. Also no rabbit problems. The cat's never caught one, but I often wonder if the predator scent all over the yard keeps them away. The lazy cat likes to lie in the garden to be close to me when I work there, and I encourage her.

The cat also catches the worm-devouring moles, which is maybe good, but I'm still ambivalent about her effect.
