I would have thought we were neighbours, except I haven't seen the bobcat yet. We are in the suburbs as well.
We have turkeys that make their rotations through our yard. They have perched on our deck railing, stairs, and swing set, but not on our roof, though I have seen them fly 50 or more feet up into the pine trees. I welcome them, for the most part. They pull in mid-afternoon and work their way up and down our grass eating whatever they can find, before they move on to the next place. I enjoy watching the babies grow up and I have video of the toms having some kind of "who's the king" display in the backyard. I have never had a problem with them attacking, like I have heard some people complain about. I can head outside and they just meander away a bit.
This spring/summer, a pair of hawks decided that our yard was the place to raise their two babies. That was the worst!!! The screeching and shrieking were practically deafening, even in the house with the doors and windows shut. It was like living in a wildlife sanctuary. While I appreciated their keeping the rodents in check, I was happy when they decided to move on later in the year.
