Running with Moose (October 2, 2009)

Out running tonight we experienced two moose encounters, both a block or two away from our house. We have never been so close to moose before. Both moose were females. The first one didn't not seem to mind the fact that we were out for our run, she watched us for awhile then continued on with her eating. The second cow we encountered was much more skiddish, watching us for a short period of time before running into the woods. Although we have both seen moose going to and coming from work, this is the first time we've seen them in our neighborhood, literally on residential streets. While Jon was eager to get closer, I was looking for the largest tree!
