A Late Winter, Early Spring Visitor....


We have come to realize that this teen moose has probably been hanging out in our yard all winter nesting under 3 huge pine trees.  Macy trekked down to the trees and saw a huge amount of moose hair all over the snow, not to mention what she called "a bunch of chocolate eggs"....  These photos were taken this morning by Macy from Carter's room.  They decided to name the moose "Rico" until I had to remind them that this was a female (no horn growth...) so they renamed her "Ria".  She hung out in our yard all day long, napping eating & running back and forth.  Pretty fun to watch!  We'll enjoy her while she's here, with the temps warming up, I don't think she'll be around much longer...
