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.
So are you going to keep watch to see the bear or just monitor the deposits?

Great pictures, not seen a moose yet, something to look forward to.
I have seen my first bear this week, thats because we have moved to the west coast of the island for the winter months to caretake a marina. Bear poop not far from the door step this morning.

Hey I'm not saying it was 10' but it was bigger than me - anyhow, size really doesn't matter when it's in your front garden and the 1st one you've seen up close

He was strolling around the neighbouring subdivision last night around 7pm so he didn't get far, bless 'im he must be a little worried about the cars etc, I just hope he gets to where he wants to go without getting hurt.

I saw a chihuahua piss on the floor in the hallway between the underground parking garage and the elevators in our apartment building. It was at least 5 inches tall.

I always think moose look like they should be wearing shades

Fantastic photos! My toddler said it was a pony and my 3 year old said it looks like Scooby-Doo!

We have squirrels in our garden, so we can hardly compete!

Hope you're feeling better PiffPoff

It looks like a baby moose. Here's some Wiki info on its size:

On average, an adult moose stands 1.8–2.1 m (6–7 ft) high at the shoulder.[29] Males weigh 380–720 kg (850–1580 pounds) and females weigh 270–360 kg (600–800 pounds)
