Wildlife in San Ramon



Welcome to rutting season here in San Ramon! By the looks of our backyard you would never know that we live less than a half mile from the freeway. Luckily for us we have a creek and a beautiful old Oak behind our house that attracts all local wildlife. We have seen coyote, wild pigs, raccoon, deer and many varieties of birds, including woodpeckers, wild turkeys and huge predator birds. This is our first deer mating season here in this house, and though we see doe all of the time we are just now seeing bucks. This guy was the biggest one we have seen and he was spraying bushes, rubbing his antlers on the trees and chasing a doe. Scared poor Bekah when this buck crashed through the tules in the creek and up the hill chasing his woman.
