Ah I'm glad I stumbled upon this thread, and I take it as no coincidence that Browneye was the OP. 
After he did my chakra cleansing this afternoon, I went into a brief, deep meditation, but was jolted back out of it. As I was groggily coming to, my husband got startled from the other room, almost terrified. A GIANT wasp had flown into the window! It was 3-4 times the size of any wasp I've ever seen - after a bit of googling it appears it was likely a queen - I can't say I look forward to her rehoming herself here, even though I try to let all animals know they are welcome! She spent about 45 seconds trying to get into the house through the window I was at, and then flew off. It was startling just because she was so huge.
I have many, many animals guides, I'm not sure where to start. Soon after awakening I had a golden eagle come visit me (Spaced!) during a rainstorm and sat perched in a tree on the back line of my property. It was right before the leaves had grown in so his silloutte was stunning. He stayed there for an hour or two. Many birds flocked to the same tree and the nearest tree, almost a steady stream of more birds choosing those trees as refuge during the break in the rain.
I had a dream about a black cockatoo (like this but grayer and pink too) and the next morning I had a fledgling robin giving distress calls on my front stoop. At first I tried to ignore what I knew was going on, but finally I peeked out the window and saw it. When I went to the front door get a better look, it caught a glimpse of me and I startled it enough to take off - he flew far and high! After that robins have been constant companions. He returned the next day and I saw him out the window, and he bedded down against my garden fence for a few hours while I watched him. I mentioned my pet ducklings that I used to have to my husband and immediately started pruning his breast like a duck.
Two of them nested on my neighbor's back deck lights on the side of his house facing ours, our garden I'm sure being a very good food source. There were at least two hatchlings and one day a crow caught my eye, who got extremely close to the nest (snatching close!). The hubs went out with the dog and the crow was immediately spooked and it and its partner in crime retreated. A few days later I was watching for animals out the window and I got to see one of the fledgling's first flights - it flitted around the backyard doing somersaults like a Disney cartoon. Once it finally tired itself out, dad led it to rest on our privacy fence, nestled under some tree boughs- in a tiny little space just perfectly visible by my seat near the window. For most of the day, all I would have to do is reach out and lift my lace curtain to be able to check on him.
Most recently there's been a striking robin who is very light/gray as opposed to dark gray/black - she's very distinguished from the other robins. Also, since the nesting pair moved on, it's been a pair of cardinals, who are such a delight. They love singing with us. The female visited me in a dream, where she was perched inside a house during a big family gathering for a holiday, and the next morning my husband was singing with her and she let him come exceedingly close as he walked the perimeter of the yard before mowing (to check for baby animals, of course)
Two bunny mothers (that we know about...) have nested in our yard for this breeding cycle. One we've known about, in the middle of the front yard, but just a few days ago stumbled upon the second mother bunny and startled her away, leaving a tiny little baby bunny exposed - she had dug a hole underneath a giant porcelain frog that resides in our front flower box. They should emerge at just the right time to start getting into my garden haha. I have a tattoo of two rabbits in a yin/yang pattern. I was also born on Easter, so I've always been extra fond of bunnies.
There is also a squirrel family that lives in "my tree". One afternoon my husband and I were lucky enough to catch them waking from a nap, sauntering down the tree to stretch, and then lock in the most serene, loving, and beautiful embrace I'd ever seen between two beings of any species. It brought tears to both our eyes.
Anyway, these are my most recent animal visitors. We also get many house sparrows and starlings. I recently saw the sparrows engaging in the most fae dance, a father teaching its two fledglings how to pull a seeded dandelion to the ground and hold it there, to pick the seeds off. They flitted around the dandelion for 20 minutes, pulling it down, losing their grip and having to regrasp the flower. Delightful.
Birds are obviously strong to me too, I have a tattoo of 3 phoenix feathers, as well as a sandhill crane. The animal I truly have the strongest pull towards however, is horses. I've not got to spend much time with them in this life and it breaks my heart if I dwell on it for longer than a moment.
