It occurred to me during dinner al fresco that the Moon would be rising shortly before sunset. From my new picnic table, I looked around in the east but couldn't see it. Probably still down.
I just remembered this again now. Refreshed Sky and Telescope's Almanac JavaScript thingee and it said that the Moon was 3° above the horizon. Grabbed the binos and scanned the horizon. Nope.
Popped over to TheSky software. It showed the Moon in the south-east. With a bearing, and the binos, I headed back out. Bingo! Just at the edge of visibility. That's probably the lowest I've ever spotted her.
Daddy killdeer protests every time I outside.
