new creatures

Has anyone else started seeing unusual creatures in the last couple of days?

Yesterday, I saw a small mammal that looked like a cross between a squirrel, a rat and chinchilla. The body and tail of a rat, the movement charactarized like a squirrel and a head, ears and face like a chinchilla and it was blondish/fawnish in color.

Then just now I saw a bird that was the size of a crow, with a body similar to a peregrine falcon and face like a woodpecker.

I remember reading awhile back that new creatures would start showing up closer to 2012/shift and thought it would way less obvious than this and am quite amazed by it.

Additionally a lot of the normal animals around here seem to be less.

Anyone else noticing these things. In particular in No. Cal.

peace and light,
