Most people aren't too excited with bird sightings. They can only identify a dozen or two, and most are types, rather than species. "Gull", "Woodpecker", "Sparrow", possibly getting as specific as "Robin" or "Crow".
Sighting a mammal is more exciting to these poor non-birders. Mind you, it's also exciting to birders! I love it when our birding trips also turn up animal sightings, they're much more rare to see than birds!
Here's the moose I mentioned earlier, at Hecla, May 2005 (you can see the profile of her head in that patch of yellow grass). Thought I had a better photo, but I couldn't find any! Maybe we snagged her with the video camera.
Eastern Cottontail (I think) in the English Garden at Assiniboine Park, July of 2004. 
That's a badger! Only time I've seen one, too! Near Glenboro, July 2004.
