Moose Dropped By
Last week I had some visitors at the house. Three moose stepped out of the bush and grazed for a while on the small field in front of my house. What a treat. It is always a wonderful surprise to see these interesting beasts in the wild and up close. There are a lot around here and if you are travelling a bush road in the early morning or evening you can often spot them. Of course, if you are camping on the vast area of crown land of forest, lakes and rivers, you are in their home territory and they are often seen. They are only seen alone or in small family groups. The male spend most of their time alone. A female may have a calf or two with here. These three are a female with two year old calves. I have been watching for a return visit but so far no luck.

Hey Philip, The flag map and calendar covers a third of the pictures. Is there anyway that can be changed?
If you click on the photo collage it will enlarge and be much easier to view.
I see them! How lucky you are to have moose... but not loose... is the hoose. :)
How neat. Sad to say the moose population in the boreal part of northern Minnesota is declining drastically and the scientists are sure why....:(
Magnificent, majestic beasts!
Awesome Phillip. Lucky you to have these visitors. I wonder what Heidi thought of them, or did she just not bother to lift her head from her soft bed? :)
What a treat for you.
