Moose













I set up a comfortable camp chair at my favorite beaver-pond-viewing spot and sat for a couple hours. The ponds look abandoned, even though I saw beavers in them a couple months ago.















After a nap I saw these two moose venturing cautiously from the trees. They came down to the creek, walked a short way to the south along the creek, and suddenly headed back into the trees. I never figured out what spooked them, of maybe they just came for a quick drink of water.















This moose was along the highway (she also had a calf with her). She's whistling "The Fishing Hole" (the theme to "The Andy Griffith Show").

If you were upwind from her, I can imagine what spooked her.
