A Moose!

It is now tradition; one day in May we head out early in the morning to a nearby park with with breakfast in hand with one purpose. To see Moose! Before we even get into the park we saw two young female Moose finding refuge from the black flies in the muddy edge along the side of the road. The black flies have just started coming in force, the open spaces tend to have less bugs then in the woods providing some relief. Which means that the roads can be a little more dangerous to drive at night, but during the day the chances of seeing a moose are greatly increased.

We saw four on this visit; two bulls and two cows. They are incredible animals, with awkwardly long legs and gentle faces. It was exciting to catch a glimpse of them, we are thrilled that there wasn't snow this year!
