Same, but also still have plenty of chickenhawks, foxes, and raccoons. Too many raccoons, honestly. 
Don’t complain; around here, it seems to go in cycles:
For one or two years, it will be bunnies.
For another year or two, it will be raccoons.
Currently, we’re in the skunk phase. 
As Humanity’s enclaves encroach ever-more broadly upon formerly-pristine natural habitat, it has become increasingly common over the last century or so to find that such ravenously-rapacious species have adapted to changing circumstances in their environment.
There’s a reason why the raptors began patrolling for road-kill.
Yes. The predator breeding response to increased food supply and the food supply’s breeding response to predation have built in time lags so that what nature really provides is a cycle that works, but a vicious one. Mostly somebody is always going hungry.
Including some Amazon sellers. 
We are seeing way fewer rabbits, and lots more coyotes. Those are probably related.
We are also seeing more deer but fewer bats.
I don’t get out much, but I hear we are having a larger-than-usual rat problem in NYC. Of course, it has nothing whatsoever to do with the now-legal dining shanties the city allowed the restaurants to construct in the streets so they could stay in business during Covid…
The only time I see rats in my neighborhood is when I am walking home from dinner in a restaurant with a friend or relative from out of town. The biggest, baddest local rats come out for out-of-towners, I think.
Rats in the subway are there for the amusement of those waiting for the next train.
May I ship you a few spare coyotes? If they are properly sedated I can probably use media mail.
They travel in packs, so I think that they will have a good chance against a NY rat.
LOL! The only time I have ever seen coyotes was at the Scottsdale Princess, on an early evening walk, years ago. My Utah-based sister had to tell me they were not stray dogs
Same here in New England. The deer due to yet more forests and fields being converted to homes and apartments. The bats due to “white-nose syndrome” we got them out of our house, and they have a place in our barn.
Sadly they are right where we got some shingles blown off so I know they are getting wet.
Do you purposely allow bats in your barn? Does it get them out of your house? Genuine curiosity here. I don’t think I have ever seen a bat, in person.
Well I would rather not. However, they have been there for a very long time. We just lifted the barn about 20 feet, it is 48 by 37 feet. Then set it down on a 10 inch foundation. The area under the barn (a bank barn) is intended to be our studio/office/manufacturing area. When we set it down, added drainage, and a 5 inch floor with PEX in it for heating the ceilings ended up about 9 feet. The bats are 38 feet above that with three levels between us.
That picture was in the kitchen celling. It was shot about 20 years ago, to film. Three frames a second, with a flash, I could not see anything in the dark space. That was the middle shot, the last shot it was flying at me. Though I still did not see it until I developed the film.
We had opened the celling in the kitchen, and found they were nursing young bats. So we left them alone and worked on another part of the house.
The males were always in the barn. We worked with “North Country Law” AKA NH Fish and Game. They advised how to get them out of the house. We had to wait until they were done raising the young. Just worked on another part of the house.
Left it open the entire time, they did not bother us, we did not bother them.
They can fit in a hole the size of a dime, so it is not easy to block them out.
When the day came, we were instructed (after sealing everything) to open the windows at 10pm and they would depart. Then close the windows in an hour or two, While we did that, the moment of opening the windows, they took flight while I was still in the room.
Nice to have a forum where we can put a link. From the NH Fish and Game Department on the issue with White-Nose Syndrome
The girls are in one part of the barn now, the boys in another. A lot less than in past years. They go south in the fall and come back in the spring.

Thank you for your detailed explanation. This is going to take me some time to absorb, but I am really interested in what you have written.
“Non-standard” animals1 I have had to avoid hitting with my car, in my own current neighborhood:
- bear
- coyote
- mountain lion
- turkey
- groundhog
- armadillo
- deer
1“Standard” animals: birds, chipmunks, squirrels, possum, mice/rats, snakes, cats, dogs, raccoons, turtles, frogs, bunnies, etc.
Talk to me when you come face to face with a Canadian Goose. Nasty flying boat anchor.
I saw quite a few coyotes when I lived out west. Be aware that while they are not as common in the east, the ones that are here are considerably larger (on average) than the ones out west. I’ve seen a couple in the last few years; I’m about 5 miles from the bridge to NYC.
Wild turkeys are a protected species in Massachusetts. They can be vicious.
I despise the Canada geese for their foul fowl droppings everywhere during their migration. Slippery enough on sidewalks to be a danger to old folks (like me). Certain times of the year, my favorite walking path around a local pond is off-limits because the perimeter sidewalk is so disgusting. 
Eradicate Rodents.
I will take Bats over Rats any day! At least Bats eat the bugs.
On our local news website, we had a police scanner. I recorded it so I could pull it up and include it in a story. The best one ever was a Turkey that jumped on a Minivan hood and would not let the woman and her children out of the car.
Yes they are vicious. Though just to your north here in New Hampshire they are now plentiful, not a day goes by that we do not have an encounter or sighting of turkey.
