wild animals

So, our new house is in a place in Utah that is in the mountains. It is beautiful and appropriately named. We frequently see wild animals (both inside and out-inside being our kids). I've decided to keep a list of all the different animals we have seen:

deer
elk
rabbit (not ours)
skunk
porcupine (that met Lady, the dog-only one quill though. phew.)
bobcat
fox

and....
penguin.

The penguin was discovered by Three. One morning while eating breakfast she began shrieking,
"MOM!! LOOK!! A PENGUIN!!"

It was a magpie. There was no convincing her though. Apparently if you are black and white that qualifies you as a penguin.

In past years while we vacationed here we would also see moose. Neighbors have reported seeing a mountain lion. If that happens, we may never go outside again.
