Re: [APML] Critter stories

About six years ago near Mt St Helens WA, I was imaging late one night and had my face glued to the shielded laptop screen when I detected a rather foul odor and noise behind me.  I turned around  allowing the laptop to lightup a cow elk about 20 feet away.   I am not sure who was scared more.

plus a big headed tweety bird? (hopefully not too obscure a ref to a very

Well, my critter tale occured about 7 years ago when I was learning to
manually guide astrophotos.  I was hunched over, looking in my right angle
guide eyepiece, and about 30 minutes into a 45 minute shot.  Suddenly a
    

loud
  

noise came from some sheet metal flashing on the ground about 3 feet
    

behind
  

me.  I grabbed my red LED flashlight and wheeled around on my stool.  The
adrenalin rush was going full speed.  I shined the light in the direction
    

of
  

the noise and immediately saw two eyes looking back at me.  It was a
fearsome Kangaroo Mouse.  When you're not expecting it, it can be quite
startling!
