The moose have arrived! These days I’m up and out by 0700 and back to the trailer about 10 am, getting in lots of steps following the moose. This year,because of the high number of cars parked in the overflow area (really the amphitheater parking lot) they seem to be spending more time between the campsite loops and the river or at the river. Usually the grove by the amphitheater is a regular hangout for them.
Early morning (once the sun is up) provides nice light and sometimes tender moments cam be seen. Once a bull comes around the cow is distracted by him and often the calf is left to catch up when it can.
Sometimes crossing the river isn’t enough, the bull follows and the cow takes to the river again.

Spectacular shots! He is so handsome and his coat looks undisturbed from ticks which is ruining our moose population. But my most favorite shot is the 3 of them contemplating the river! A sweet family shot!!!
Be well! Stay well! Deenie

Thanks, Deenie. The moose here seem in fine condition. The cow was not amused by that bull, once they reached dry land she took to the water again, trying to avoid his advances. It was fortunate to get all 3 of them in the water together, though, usually the bull is trailing behind, if there at all.
