Dan & I keep a list of the birds we have seen in our yard [the only list I keep]. [Lewis's woodpecker]
This morning we had our usuals, along with our first of the year [FOY] black-
headed grosbeak.
headed grosbeak. I was taking pictures through our front window. Dan was taking the car to the garage to get some work done and I was to pick him up. He headed off and shortly thereafter, I headed down the road. Just after crossing the river, I looked into the bushes and there was a MOOSE!!! While I have seen several moose in 
different parts of the country, there has never been one 1/2 mile from home! Of course I did not have the camera. I thought "I really should pick up Dan" then just as quickly thought "to heck with it, I am going back for the camera". As a result, I got this great shot of the moose, and Dan wondered what took me so long. It was just as well I got the pic then, because when we came back by, the animal had disappeared into the brush. You just never know what you are going to see around here.
