 I only got a couple blurry seconds of this white Roosevelt elk
(leucistic, I assume) that has been hanging around my backyard (and
the ER) for the past month, along with a growing herd.

Salmon spawning in the driveway (technically not in the ER) during a
flood last November. . I’ll have to check my notes to see what species it is – the river has several runs.
