Welcome to r/backyardwildlife!
We are a community of naturalists who love to learn from and share our backyard adventures with one another.
Our members post photos, videos, and other content pieces highlighting their local flora and fauna.
Join our growing subreddit today and share your latest backyard wildlife encounter!
The Backyard Wildlife Conservation Association is a group which is dedicated to preserving the diverse and delicate ecosystems which can be found in backyards and parks all across the USA, something which larger conservation groups sometimes leave behind.
On this subreddit, you will find a variety of resources to help guide you on your adventures, including educational videos about local animals and suggestions for how you can get involved in conservation efforts.
This is a place for you to submit videos, pictures, and written accounts of your backyard adventures, and network with other explorers.
Our goal is simple: to promote local conservation efforts by educating the public about native ecosystems and inspiring people to get outside and experience these places themselves. I believe that this approach will get people truly excited about preserving wild places near them, and sharing this organization's message with the world!
Rules:
No profane language. We want this subreddit to be appropriate for explorers of all ages!
Be respectful of the thoughts and opinions of others. This does not mean you have to agree with everything someone says, but please be courteous in your words.

Raccoon vs birdbath
I set up a camera to watch birds in my birdbath. I have some interesting footage from overnight activity with the birdbath lol. Every night my birdbath would get knocked over and I was curious to see how that was happening.

Red Shouldered Hawk?
This cute fella in my backyard this morning. My best guess is that it’s a red shouldered hawk. I am in Florida.

Injured squirrel
I just walked out into my backyard and saw a squirrel sitting on our fence, it was laying there on the fence squeaking and sounded to be in pain, we tried tossing him some pistachios but it didn't budge, I went into my garage and grabbed some gloves so o could maybe try and get ahold of it and see what I could do from there. When I cam out he was chewing this spot on his side and looking around every couple seconds then going back to chewing, I approached it and was gonna try to get ahold of it but it ran up a tree which is right on our fenceline. He climbed the tree real slow and when I looked up he had blood all in his mouth and kept squeaking Central ohio (we do have a drought rn but I don't think that's the issue) Any tips? Should I leave out food and water?

Mystery pooper - skat identification
update: it IS a bat! I checked this evening above the spot and there it was clinging to the porch rafters above the spot where i always find the skat. I read that bats like to hang out under porches while digesting their food to hide from predators like owls. it is very cute. I don't mind cleaning up from time to time. maybe I'll build a bat house too so they have more spots to shelter.
We moved to this house a few years ago and since we moved in this mysterious scat keeps on reappearing. Every time I clean it up it comes back. It's concentrated two spots on our front porch. There is nothing in the rafters of the porch where a critter could be hiding. Does anyone know what could be leaving this behind?

Can anyone identify the animal from the behavior?

Birdseed
Good evening everyone. Would someone happen to know what animal would eat and separate the black sunflower bird feed like this?
