A new version of the same old question

What am I going to miss, when (if) I move to Portland from Boston? Bonus points for not saying anything about cold or snow or sports since I hate those things.

I have never seen any ground squirrels in the Portland metro area, although they might be here -- perhaps at higher elevations in Forest Park.

Yes to Stellar Jays and Scrub Jays also. I don't see the Stellars in my particular neighborhood; they prefer a higher density of conifers, it seems.

you make up for the lack of squirrels with your ENORMOUS slugs. :)

Oh, good point! I do have an unusual appreciation for slugs!
