Nice list!

I am fortunate to live in the countryside, but it does mean the bottom of the garden is vole city, and difficult to walk in without breaking your ankle in a vole hole. I discovered how one of my cats catches the voles: she just sits at a hole and every so often sticks her paw down to grab something - lazy but effective!
 
I have a garden but it's inside a full city, so not many species to be seen here. Just tons of feral cats that everyday destroy my most valuable rare plants and poo in my pots. Hm, maybe I should get an eagle for chase and eat these evil cats.
In old good times where wasteland was at both sides of my garden, we even had a family of hegdehogs, long years ago disappeared. Some mice are here as can be seen by the tracks (eaten almonds under the almond tree), but appart from cats the only mammals on my garden are common pipistrelles, very easy to see every afternoon.
 
I'm in a neighborhood but it's rural with a lot of space.

Western Mole
Vole sp (haven't cared to figure out exactly what species)
Brown Rat
Beechy Ground Squirrel
Gray Squirrel
Botta's Pocket Gopher
Western Cottontail
Black-tailed Jackrabbit
Little Brown Bat (I suspect more species, but they're always abroad in bad lighting)
Gray Fox
Coyote (hear with some frequency)
Raccoon
Striped Skunk
Feral Cat
Bobcat (tracks once)
Mountain Lion
Mule Deer

Plus American River Otter and Black Bear seen from the yard but not in it.
 
I was very surprised to see foxes and squirrels near to my house, which is in an area that is about as urban as it gets, however they where near my property and not on my property so I guess that doesn’t count!
