Newborn moose calf (11)

Aaawww- how cute and full of grace this baby is. When kayaking in Algonquin Park 3 weeks ago I also met a mother moose and her baby. But baby was already bigger than this little one. And they were in a lake and not in a garden

Oh my gosh. I thought moose live in the woods, not on front lawns. I don't have any objections - just amazement! Around here in Vermont, one stays far far away from moose as they can be deadly when angered. These two look like over grown puppies! I suspect the have been hanging around the yard for some time now and are tame to a great degree.

I love the photos - thanks for sharing.

And I thought have wild turkeys and deer in the yard, has been pretty darn exciting. This takes the cake!

sasvermont ~ We have moose in our yard all the time. There are hundreds of urban moose that hang around Anchorage all year. But, they are not tame at all. We've learned to stay out of their way. They can go anywhere they want (who could stop them?) We never go in the yard when they are out there. We don't disturb them. But, some people fire off air guns to get them to move on if they are munching on trees, shrubs or flowers. We let them stay because we figure they were there first.
