Was driving up to care for a relatives house a couple days ago (I watch it when they're gone) and passed by one of their neighbor's houses. I normally slow down and look closely there as they have peacocks (several of them albino) and I like to look at them.
The peacocks weren't down in the yard, but a moose cow was, it was about 10 feet off the road. "Cool" I thought, "wish I had my camera", and drove on.
Finished up at the house and was driving back, at the house the cow moose was still there, and now a calf was with her!
They were surrounded by about 20 peacocks and 2 of the males were displaying their feathers (something I've never seen in person before).
Man I wish I'd brought my camera!
On this trip I also saw 2 small herds of mule deer up close - they're coming down to eat the spring grass. And some wild turkeys along the road.
Today I went up, brought my camera and saw nothing.
P.S. For those of you that don't know it, never get close to a moose especially if it's got young (I only felt safe as I was in my truck). Many people (myself included) feel safer with bears.
