Moose-capades

Yesterday the snow was falling and the wind was gusting.  The snowplow had gone through and dropped a sand/salt mixture on the ice that was uncovered.  The mixture draws the wildlife out of the trees; especially the moose.  For this reason, I watched  for movement along the edge of the forest.  It wasn't long before I spotted a bull moose heading in my direction.  I could tell it was the same one that I see quite often.  He's got a mismatched set of antlers.

I pay attention to where the animals tend to show up and am more wary in these locations.

The road I travel has many hills, large and small.  That friendly neighborhood moose tends to make himself right at home, laying down in the middle of that road.  He sprawls out while licking the salt.  This often creates a dangerous situation for unsuspecting travelers.

  


I've seen him with a friend in the middle of the road.  They tend to become quite the spectacle for anyone not used to seeing them everyday. The last time I saw them together, there were three vehicles parked, in addition to myself, watching their antics.

My kind of beauty.
