Female Moose in White Mountain National Forest
We've been hoping to see moose near our house forever. Finally, yesterday, we saw two on our drive home. One female (shown here) and a young male (check him out on my Flickr photostream)

Southern Flying Squirrel
Here's a night shot of a Southern Flying Squirrel.
This and another squirrel were huddling inside our screen door, but outside the glass door. We gave them the afternoon to stay out of the rain. They are noctural so they slept on the screen itself.
Unfortunately, dinner time came around and the squirrels didn't leave on their own, so we had to catch them in a pot and transport them into the forest. They have excellent homing abilities but we are hoping we have discouraged them enough so they don't try to move into our house... this one jumped and glided down about 7 feet, but it was very clumsy on the ground, hopping much like a kangaroo rat.

Two Southern Flying Squirrels
They were not invited, but they seem to have taken up residence on the inside of our screen door (but still outside). They are cute but terribly annoying if they find their way into your house...
