Bullwinkle sighted!

In mid September, I was treated to sightings of a mama moose and her two calves browsing in the ravine behind my condo complex. Of course, I’ve seen moose (plural: moose, not meece) a number of times here in the city, but I am always amazed that they can exist in the narrow green belts and along the river, navigating busy roads, dogs, and people who approach far too closely.
