Caleb was working at his computer Friday and glanced up to see this big bull moose amble by his window.  Unlike the other moose we’ve spotted around here, he was beefy and muscular, and seemed quite well fed.  He is probably seasoned in surviving winters–see those white patches on his belly?  He’s no spring chicken.
