Wow, that's pretty crazy.
Not entirely off base, but there has been a hawk roaming the Short North lately. I've heard reports of small animals being snatched. No joke.

There are lots of hawks in the city. Like lots and LOTS.

So yeah, keep your gophers and pet rats leashed and in sight when on walkies.

A couple years ago, I was eating lunch outside my downtown office building. There's a garden and some trees.

I took a stroll after I finished, made a 90 degree blind turn...and noticed two falcons right next to me. I thought they were eagles at first. I told the security officer about them. He said, "Oh yeah, they're falcons. They come around sometimes." :-O

because they live and raise babies on a downtown office building.

I dislike the oppossums in Grandview. At first glance I think they are enormous rats, but they're not hurting anything.

Open windows brought cool night air and lots of Coyote Howling. They seem so close, but in the dark, it's really hard to tell.

I saw a deer (yes, a deer) near Downtown Columbus a couple weekends ago when walking home late at night. It's things like this you can't make up.

when my wife and i were living in Italian Village, we saw a family of deer in the Jeffrey Place undeveloped area right off of 4th and 1st. not sure if they're still around, but great to see them nonetheless.

I certainly wouldn't let that little white pup out there with them at night.

I don't ... a dog down the road was mauled by a couple 'yotes. I love the the wildkife here though. My little guy is almost always watched when he is out.
