What a fun day out in the forest! Before I even had my camera ready, two moose ran right by me and I barely caught a quick video of the third that was following behind. These first three were interesting because there was a mom, calf and then a third female that was at least a couple years old. They were also vocalizing to each other as they hustled through the forest. Shortly after seeing the first three, a fourth walked by. I could hear her coming since it was just an unbelievably quiet morning. She stopped to take a look at me and then slowly went on about her morning. Not much further along, I decided to stop in a nice opening and I thought to myself – this seems like a perfect spot for a moose to come by. Only a minute or two later, another moose came by! She grazed for a while in front of me, but I was heading a different direction so we parted ways. The highlight of the day were the final two moose that I encountered. The last two were a ~5 month old and mother. We hung out for about 30 minutes or so before they decided to sit down and digest their breakfast. It's always a highlight when a moose (especially one with a calf) decides to sit down near me. It's a great sign of acceptance and trust. The calf took its cues from mom and wasn't bothered by me one bit.
