There was a moose at my house when I can home from dance class tonight (correction, it was Dec 15, 2009 when this happened). I did not see her when I first go home, but she rounded the corner of my fence and was RIGHT THERE in my little back yard. My neighbor mentioned her baby was in my front yard and that I should be careful. Mama moose had me cornered at my van when I got home, and was no more than 5 ft away from me (with my van between us). I was a just a LITTLE SCARED!
When I finally got into the house, with my heart pounding I ran upstairs, grabbed my camera and went out the front door. The baby was lying down in our front yard, and when I came out onto the front porch, it took off. He was also BIG!
Whew! Second moose sighting since moving here and this was a little close for personal comfort.
