I saw a MOOSE outside the kitchen window this am! It ran away so fast so no photo. 🥲 I went outside for a closer look & it stared at me, which I took as "hello human, you look pretty cool" & I said the same back to the moose. Now we're friends. 😄 These are tracks we found from days earlier. #kidlit

Moose eat fermented apples fallen from apple trees in peoples gardens. The apples contain alcohol and the moose get tipsy from eating them. So watch out for the moose swaggering and swaying around like some drunken sailor. 😄🍎

Recorded the call of the endangered Red-Cockade Woodpecker in the longleaf pine forest yesterday w/ my Merlin app @birdsoftheworld.bsky.social I saw one flying moments later. There are around 15k of these birds in the wild. They live in family units almost exclusively in longleaf pine trees. 💚💚💚💚

There are 170 reindeer in The Reindeer Remainders. To track them I created a chart w/ antler styles (female antlers are shorter w/ fewer points) along w/ respective bandana colors. I did anatomy studies & a method to draw their heads, a big square, medium square, & small square at the end! 😀 #kidlit
