Watch Out For Moose!

This blog is not so much about a hike, (We only made it 1 1/2 times around Silver Lake), but about the moose. There were two bull moose, and one cow.  The smaller bull moose kept challenging the large one, and it was amazing to watch them.  A wildlife photographer, who lives up there year-round, (who left his cameras at home, and had to use his iPhone) said this was a very rare thing to witness.  If only we had had a good camera instead of my tiny hiking camera!

  1. That was fun to watch at first....and then when we were trapped it was a bit scary! AND according to the wildlife guy, "some" of the observers were way too close to the moose. He had his ears flat which means he is mad and will charge. Scary. I am glad we didn't have to spend the night there, trapped by the moose.
