It has always amused me that the tourists to the US that I’ve spoken to are often very excited to see raccoons, and disappointed if they don’t see them before they leave.
Some others I’ve noticed on the east coast of the US are blue jays and cardinals. Boy, do people get excited about those if they’ve never seen them before! Very pretty birds of course, just very easy to get used to and see as uninteresting as well.
I loved seeing red squirrels when I was in Germany. Coming from the UK where they’re super rare, it was really exciting to see them. Not exclusive to Germany I guess but I’ve seen them more frequently there than anywhere else.
