Actual Observations While Motorcycling In MA:

1. Excluding the non-feathered kind, turkeys are now everywhere in MA. The feathered variety can be seen every day around the perimeter of Hanscom Field/AFB.
2. Moose are are frequently seen within 15 to 35 miles of Boston. They're becoming so prevalent that there's a real probability that someone's sister will get bitten soon.
3. Bikers really have to look out for the deer and bears that regularly pop out onto the roads. I've had multiple close calls with both in the last several years.
4. You can see coyotes in the burbs.
5. Way back when Digital Equipment was alive, one of their major manufacturing plants fought a war against two beavers (that were flooding the facility) and lost. 6. Skunks are everywhere!

How about this-I'm in 02120 within Boston and have seen raccoon, fox, possum, pheasant, skunk and wild turkey here.

Washington DC is full of Skunks, Democratus liberalis I think.
