When I was in my early 20's I lived at home in Milaca, MN on my parents farm because my husband was in the Navy and he was out at sea. I was working nights at Fingerhut. As I turned off the main highway onto the gravel road my car quit. I had to walk 1 mile to the farm. Next to the gravel road was a woods. As I walked something walked with me in the woods. When I stopped it stopped. I could hear it crashing along among the trees. I figured it was a bear but whatever it was it was with me the full mile. I didn't dare run even tho I was mighty scared.

Were there any footprints? Tracks? Yikes, I would be staying inside.

That would have to be one heck of a big squirrel...

Cant say I blame you, not much of a night time person myself; but that is TRULY a beautiful picture!!! ( I do see eyes)

I'd put book on a deer. We live in the middle of the Adirondack forest and deer are regular visitors, especially around bird feeders, etc. They love the bird seed!

Except for the snow, I'd say to be careful because we also have black bear in our area, but not this time of year (they're hibernating). Gotta be a deer and they're really skitterish, so I don't think you need to worry too much about them overtaking you.

Turkeys, coons, etc. are also frequent visitors, but the height is right for a deer.

It's wonderful living in nature. I just try to remember that they were here first and we moved into their territory.

Eyes too far apaart for a squirrel and unless he's hanging on the end of a limb, it's too tall too. Maybe those are the eyes of an alien wondering what the heck is flashing back at him!

Nevermind the eyes......the cold.........bbbbbbrrrr. I don't want to offend but cold nights like that and funny eyes, I rather stay in bed.

Nope, I'm NOT going out there....he says it's a squirrel....but squirrels don't usually go out at night......... :shock: (the picture shows up much better on my computer -- but you can barely see them here).....I just had to share....LOL

As far as I am aware, the only animals with glowing eyes, is a cat. Judging from the level on the tree, I'd say a BIG cat. OOOPS! Did I say that out loud?
