I’ve been waiting months expecting more, but I just saw the first coyote roaming around in my neighborhood.

Our neighborhood here in Suburban Baltimore appears to be similar to yours. 3 years we have had deer strolling across our lawns, in groups of 1 to 5. We’ve also begun seeing red fox and groundhogs. Rabbits and squirrels have been here forever as has, of course, the venerable Blue Jay!
We used to have three coyotes in our old neighborhood which was much more urban, so I’ve been surprised to see none here yet. There is a family of 7 peacocks I see quite often in the neighborhood that roost every night in a tree about a block away. It’s entertaining to see them queuing up at dusk to hop on a fence to jump/fly to a rooftop and from there to the tree where they hop from branch to branch until they’re about 40 feet off the ground.
Don’t forget about the horse we saw! That was impressive!
Peacocks! How cool.
