Critter Highway - Farm Ave


We've heard about the roaming Black Bear... but this was the first time we've seen it.
Casey and I were vacuum sealing our halibut, salmon and rock fish when he just sauntered on through the back yard and around into the driveway and out into the weeds.




Baby moose - getting very agile
Riley ran after these guys - when momma moose stomped her displeasure...
That was an adrenaline rush for sure, as we were just 150 yards from the action!

*visited the little bird nest last week and it was empty... easy to suspect foul play -
darn mink... (or other critter)

hatchlings!

There were 5 eggs and we counted 4 beaks... I'm sure the other guy is in there somewhere!

Thank you Avery for taking care of the Farm while we are away!
