Not my most memorable but it happened just last week. There is a large group of wild turkeys that roost in some trees near my house. There are groups of them wandering all around this time of year. Early one morning recently I saw a Bald Eagle swoop over and land in the trees right near the turkeys. They started making some weird calls that I've never heard from turkeys and then utter quiet. Two more adolescent Eagles(no white heads) soared above. Crows all over the place were making a racket. I watched for twenty minutes or so but didn't see any turkeys go down. I imagine a turkey is no easy prey for an eagle as they are never alone.

This morning, I saw an owl swoop through my backyard, making evasive turns... with two crows in pursuit. Not most memorable. But it definitely made an impression.

Bighorns! I had my first sighting last summer near the Kettle River where I was fishing. It made me smile. Majestic looking beasts.

Indeed there are, Reeotch! I didn't know that until 2016, when I saw a couple in the Weminuche, in a swamp right next to the train tracks along the Animas. I think they were reintroduced there sometime in the 1990s.

about fifteen years ago, in a remote canyon near Jackson, my dog and I skied upon a moose giving birth. It was all I could do to restrain her as she sensed blood and vulnerability . I had to make a leash out of my scarf and hold on for dear life... Pretty cool.

Last night a pair of coyotes were howling up a storm in my front yard down here in northern New Mexico. Noisy, but very cool!

Randy Grandstaff told a funny story about a wild burro sticking its head thru his open bedroom window while he was asleep and making him nearly piss the bed by braying loudly.

Yesterday I had a beaver sighting! It was dragging a branch through the snow to it’s home in the creek. Made my day. I see bears, wild turkeys, mountain goats, etc. pretty regularly, but I can only remember seeing a beaver one other time in my life.
Of course it was the day I didn’t bring a camera.

We have a lots of Beavers here in VT. Just saw a short film @ Banf about how the west is so dried up because they killed all the beavers. I see their tracks in the winter. They love to belly slide down steep hills in the snow.

Haha, I realized I have opened the door to beaver jokes.
This is supposed to be good. I think it deals with that of which Tradman speaks.
