I live in a townhouse, and have a pair of doves nesting in a large
flower pot that sits on the dividing wall between mine and my neighbors
patios. Have had an owl of some type in a nearby tree, but lately the
squirrel population has exploded. Come to think of it, havn't heard
that owl for awhile...

2500 in 25 square miles? Jammed in?! I live in "beautiful downtown
Burbank", which makes your NH town seem like a wilderness.

It's amazing how much wildlife makes it's way in and through our
"civilized" urban areas. I can drive a few miles to a water treatment
facility/japanese garden of a few acres at the right time of year and
see dozens of white egrets resting in the trees and water on their way
south. This in the middle of a valley of a hundred or so square miles
with a population of over 2 MILLION.
