Great pics by the way. We've had deer in front of our house but never a moose.
YAY the sun is shining and it's warm enough for the front door to be open I might have to pop another $10 in the Spitfire and use it for another week.

Apparently that was the baby moose. DD saw the Daddy once she was safely on the bus on the way to school, she said it was massive and the Antlers were twice the size of the one we saw. She also said it was really really close to the girl standing waiting for the bus

I shan't tell him about that one unless you want a sniper on your roof

Unusual that they would wander into the city though - I'd crap myself if I saw one in our front garden - and thats an understandable location!!!!!!

So jealous PP

Super exciting (especially when your not feeling well)
It must be at least, er, 5 foot tall.

Great pictures, we have had deer on the front lawn, ground hogs and skunks under the shed.

The big OMG was found this week as we walked through our wooded area between our house and the one behind. We found about 6 piles of bear poop in various stage of aging! It seems we have a regular visitor coming around.

That answers that question...does a bear defaecate in the woods and all that. Although perhaps not all. Now back to the mini moose sighting.....

Lucky you and fab pics too! I've only see moose from afar; never that close.

On the subject of moose, is it true that their eyes don't reflect in vehicle headlights or is someone just telling me a big fat fib?

Amazing pics Piff! I had two run across the road in front of me near home not so long ago - ******' HUGE they were. Then they went down the road and through our yard but I didn't have a camera handy at the time

Also had a herd of cows wander through the garden one night, but that's another story...

Edit: LOL, I only said f-e-c-k-i-n' up ^there, honest.
