What kind of wild animals are there in New Hampshire?

[AlanM]

Alan, I don't chuck wood...I pick it up and put it neatly in a pile

Anyway, NH does have bald eagles, and loons, and lots of Canadian geese making a pitstop here without paying the meals tax.  And falcons, although they are endangered.

Marcy, do your local groundhogs stack the wood neatly for you?  
I stand corrected on the bald eagles. I wasn't aware we have any.
If the geese can be taxed, the Gov will find the way.

I wasn't sure about the eagles, either, Alan, until I did a search:

Co-workers claim they've seen them, but I haven't, yet.

As for woodchucks and wood stacking...everything is NH is done neatly, didn't you notice that?

Well, I've lived in NH all my life and think it is a neat place.

There are seagulls in Berlin. Yes -- all the way up there in the White Mountains! They keeping having to fight them off of the school roof.

Are there any poisonous animals or insects? Spiders? Snakes?

[ravelkinbow]

rattlesnakes and copperheads

[Marcy]

a few snakes in the State House that ain't doing anyone much good either

[Kat Kanning]

I read that there are no poisonous snakes in NH.

Bald eagles in NH. There are about six nesting sites.

Fall is an exciting time of year for raptor enthusiasts, as many species of hawks are heading south for the winter. The new raptor migration observatory in Peterborough is ideal for many birders.

Although there are many locations in New Hampshire where you can observe hawk migration, there is a new raptor migration observatory at the top of Pack Monadnock Mountain in Miller State Park in Peterborough. This location is ideal for many birders because of its accessibility.

I saw some wild turkey in our apartment complex this week at 5:30 am. This is way too urban an area for them.

The only ones that really seem wierd to me, being born and mostly bred in southern New England, where dead possums litter the roads and bears commonly parade down sidewalks, are Moose.

There are indeed also a lot of wild turkeys, especially off the side of the highways you see them.

Fisher cats and catamounts are also in the woods up here.

[Pat McCotter]

Catamount: Is that the lynx or the cougar?

[Marcy]

Don't forget about black fly season.... and no-see-'ums

Also woods have ticks, and some ticks carry Lyme Disease (not a humongous worry but it pays to be observant).
