After a slow start, I ended with some decent moose sightings from around the area over the last half of winter. This moose calf would have been born last May most likely and now is quickly approaching it’s first full year of life having survived a challenging winter. The calf and it’s mother were grazing on pine needles when I came across them. Moose are able to eat a wide variety of vegetation which helps make them successful. Long legs are great for navigating the marshy areas they frequent in the summer months but also help them move through deep snow in the winter. I felt privileged being about to photograph this young moose as it neared it’s first full year but every wildlife viewing is a privilege. Ironically I post this on my birthday!
