moose images from late December
These moose pics were taken over the past few days...
two bull moose...one has dropped his antlers and the other has not...
After the craziness of the rutting season, now is a mellow time of fattening up for the winter months...good thing because although they have no trouble moving through this snow, it's up to my waiste
Here's another bull who has recently dropped his antlers...we can see a bit of blood on his fur just below where the antler was...he's enjoying some young spruce branches...mmmmmm...
Here's a baby bull trying hard to cross the Swift River to join mama, who had already crossed and was waiting high up on the bank. I heard her several times and saw branches move so I knew just where she was.
After he made it through the deep part he slowed down and lingered. He had an eye on me the whole time and he started coming closer to me. You could see worry in his eyes. He might have thought I was mama for a moment.
He may be a half year old, but I beleive he is one and a half, heading into his second winter. He eventually found his way to mama and off they went. I wonder if that will be a childhood memory for him.
happy new year
