I spent most of yesterday morning (2/15/09) watching a moose cow and her calf browse the hillside behind my apartment.
What a way to spend a Sunday morning just being lazy and watching the moose in your "backyard" ... maybe next time I'll remember to bring a thermos of hot tea - it was dang cold standing there just watching her and her kid eat

Priceless. What a wonderful view out your window. I had no idea how big those animals really were until a few years ago. Humbling.

I don't quite know why moose fascinate me, but they do. Thank you for sharing.

Very nice pictures. The face is very similar to a horse's. I never thought of a moose that way.

Dave - Thank you for all the wonderful photographs that you contribute to these forums. Equally remarkable is the area in which you live; there's just an incredible amount of wildlife there.
You, and all the other photo enthusiasts, really add a tremendous amount of visual pleasure to the forums!

It's a rough life - like today when I had 11 fourth grade students on cross country ski's for the first time ...
Well worth it though, we saw 15 moose in a little over two hours this afternoon!

Let's see - 11 fourth graders, three would have been trying to act cool - that leaves 7 kids who were paying attention and now think you're a super-hero. Not a bad day.
