The newest peewee was a cat victim. Not long after I got her, she started vomiting blood. I euthanased her.

And I was handed a starling chick and a blackbird chick. I can't keep feral birds so I euthanased them, too.

The crows, ravens, 3 of the dove species, and most of the finches are natives, too.

Good - then I can feel less guilty about enjoying the activities of the finches (which one must admit are cute.)

The crows and ravens may be native, but when I was growing up the local noisemakers were mockingbirds and scrub jays, and we rarely if ever saw a crow. Oh well, I still do hear the occasional mockingbird.

We also have raccoons and I've NO idea if they're native or not.

My folks live in down in Orange about an hour or so's drive from here, and they get the occasional roadrunner, which is also local iirc.
