This year has been good to me for spotting rare creatures.
Early winter-Bobcat crossing the road in Kent CT. Its one of those moments where your staring at it and thinking its a cat but can't help but notice that something is off and then you realize what it really is.
Couple of weeks ago-Black bear crossing the road in Cornwall CT. (Parents saw this one)
Constantly-Deer....always deer. A few years ago when I had a girlfriend she was in the car with me and completely freaked out because there was a dear crossing the road a good 500 feet in front of us....it was uphill in the SDL....I think I was alright

Just the other week-Caught in a trap in our backyard. I'd NEVER seen anything like this before and neither had a 95 year old farmer who lives just up the street from us.
