I live in a suburban city and I've had all of those either in our backyard or just beyond our back yard over the past couple of years (except the eagles). Squirrels, rabbits, an opossum, a skunk, mice, owls, hawks, toads have all been in our backyard before. Deer and coyotes just beyond our back fence. Raccoons I've seen in the neighborhood but not from our backyard. A couple times now I've taken pictures of hawks chilling on our back patio. I have a bird feeder so the birds might attract it.
The dogs freak out whenever I inadvertently let them out with animals in the back yard (happened with the skunk and opossum), so I've had to rush out and put myself in between them and the animals to keep them from possibly getting attacked or attacking they animals (they did get skunked).
We have a tall fence and do our best to repair holes and gaps, but it doesn't seem to matter much except keep deer and coyotes out of our yard (at least so far).
