  What’s funny is that these are taken at an industrial site with a sawmill, pole plant, truck/equipment shop, fabrication shop and warehouse. All the wildlife seizes onto the habitat and ignores the rest.

  We get a good variety to be sure. Let me guess, the only one you don’t have Is mourning dove.

    Nope. We call them flying rats. They like to build nests in inconvenient places on the house and poop on everything.
    
    I don’t think I have seen an osprey, although we have bald eagles in the area and have seen them here briefly a few times. Not sure about the coot. We get a few water species I haven’t identified, at least until the large resident snapping turtles make it inconvenient to stay on the lake.
