We have plenty of those "usual suspects" here.  Sometimes you can encounter
a fox, if they don't notice you first.  I have not encountered any mink,
etc., here, but did encounter one at a small boatdock in northern Minnesota
once.  I wondered if it was not a pet, or maybe used to being fed, as it
seemed interested in seeing me (vs. running away).

Deer are *everywhere* here.  Too many of them, IMHO.  Coyote can be heard,
but I have never encountered one.  Bear are starting to get closer to the
area (coming from the mountains to the east).

I was disappointed that, when I was in Canada, I did not see a moose.  ;)
