Hunter and I were sitting at the computer checking our emails when he started saying "moo, moo" and pointing outside. Walking in the open area behind our house was a moose! Yep, I bet some of you thought he was talking about a cow! But this northern boy has yet to even see a cow other than in books! I think this is the same moose I have seen two other times around Faro in the last couple of weeks. Too dark to get a picture, but still light enough to watch it plow through the deep fluffy snow.
I love living in Faro!

That is what i love about being at the cabin--we're on the doorstep of the wildlife's home!! It's one of the beauties of living in the Yukon!
dinner on the hoof!! where's yer gun??!!
No one place seems to have a monopoly on wild animals interfacing with urban culture. For example, I live in a southern community of 100,000, on a bus route up in the hills above the city proper (30 minutes downtown on the bus, 7 minutes by vehicle and 5 minutes on my bicycle - it is downhill all the way) and so far since returning south last spring I have seen in my back yard (postage stamp size) or between my neighbours house and mine a:
black bear
deer
fox
coyote
Well, that's definitely one creature I don't expect to see outside my window anytime soon!
I did see a raven this morning though.
:)
Good thing he* didn't decide to wander on inside for a visit!
* I'll assign the moose a male gender as they always exhibit a stellar sense of direction.
