Technically the Brown Rat is closer to being a native for you than pretty much everyone here in big year, given they originate from northeast Asia. Though I can understand and share the sentiment. ;)

I wish I could include this, but my father saw a Bald Eagle Fly over our house. He is quite the 'outdoorsman' himself, and I definitely take his word for it. He said he could see its feathers were ruffled. I've seen Bald eagles in the wild before, but I am very mad I did not look out the window. :mad:

Insect/Invertebrate
7. Varied carpet beetle (Anthrenus verbasci)
