This guy was in my backyard for several hours last Friday morning.

Did you hear the Northern Exposure theme playing anywhere nearby? :mad:

I thought the same thing! :( And he looks like a young'un, too.

I caught these muggles watching me a few days ago, I told them to look away real quick while I found the cache. They were nice enough to oblige. :)

They aren't fainting goats, are they? :)

I think they're sheep actually :)

Hmm, I profess general ignorance of the subject. ;)

The flyingdogs would have gladly used their herding training but the shepherd may have voiced a differing opinion.

The shepherd would probably have appreciated the help. His dogs laid down by the side of the road and watched him go after the strays,

Virginia Rail, North Creek Boardwalk, N47 50.106 W122 13.224

 

Wow, great photo EraSeek! Virginia Rails are shy so they are very hard to spot, much less get such a nice photo of one. The best I've been able to do is see the tips of the grass moving above where a rail is walking.

Fun thread! Here's a few from my recent trip to Florida:

 

I saw two wild gators during my 5 day visit. I talked to some locals when I was there and they said they've never seen one before other than at the alligator farm. Guess I got lucky :laughing: Both were around the NAS Jacksonville area. This guy lives at the lake next to the NAS JAX golf course.

Saw a few of these as well...this guy was tanning out on a log a few hundred feet from the gator above.

Saw a TON of these guys (anoles)! I'm pretty sure I saw more of these than the infamous Florida mosquitos O_O Spotted this little guy while searching for a cache on a boardwalk that cut through the swamp lands.

Taking things closer to home now...saw this guy munching on blueberries about 40 feet off the trail near the Lake Ann cache. We were on our way to the Lower Curtis Glacier. My first bear sighting in the continental US!

Most of these are nature shots I'm not sur emine qualifies. Well I guess any shot not in a zoo or circus would be considered such. In any event I thought that this one walking towards me across a strip mall parking lot in Florida was somewhat unusual. I took this photo while standing less than 10 feet from the cache. a82ef8ce-f7c6-4ae1-827f-5c3462422c8a.jpg

Spotted these guys today while paddling out near Washington Park on Lake Washington. There were originally 7 sharing the log, but 4 jumped in when we got close.

This was the traffic today on the lake:

Spotted the moose while on a Delorme / County run in NE WA. This was the first time I've seen a moose in the wild. No the best picture in the world but I didn't have my good camera with me so I had to use my coolpix L15.

Great pic, Jeff! I didn't know we had moose in Washington! :D I thought they were like grizzlies - safely over in the Rockies. That's the only place I've seen either in the wild. I thought moose were kinda ugly; the only cute one was on "Northern Exposure" (he must have had a good makeup artist).
