Did You See the Avon Moose?

Where and when? Tell us in the comments.

Avon Patch asked people last week if they'd rather see a moose once in their life or win the $550 million Powerball jackpot. The three people we spoke with opted for the money. 

But seeing a moose is still priceless and not everyone can say they've spotted one, so please tell us if you are one of lucky few to see the moose recently seen roaming through Avon.

Here is a rundown of the latest moose sightings in the Farmington Valley as of Monday, according to Andrew LaBonte, Department of Energy and Environmental Protection wildlife biologist.

Latest Farmington Valley Moose Sightings

  • Avon: May 18 on Country Club Road and Carriage Drive
  • Simsbury: May 17 at the Westminster School campus at 995 Hopmeadow Street, 5 Crestwood Road and the intersection of Hoskins and Ely Lane.
