I went for a walk Sunday afternoon. I was intending to take photos of the buffalo beans and Saskatoon berry blossoms. I had a few surprises.
The cow moose and two calves were a big surprise.
Mallard ducklings
Early blue violet
Buffalo beans
Western Canada violet
Saskatoon berry blossoms.
A great nature walk. Spring is happening in the north country.
ReplyDeleteWere you wary of coming up on a mother moose?
You have to take some care. She was on the opposite side of the creek and below. she ignored me. The calves were very curious.
Deletewow Moose and babies!!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen calves this young.
DeleteGood to see Spring springing
ReplyDeleteThe leaves have come out and it's beautiful.
DeleteWow, great sighting of the mama moose and her babies. They are cute!
ReplyDeleteLove the ducks and the flowers. Take care, have a great day!
I've never seen moose calves this young.
DeleteWhat a lovely walk, moose and blooms!
ReplyDeleteYou had an adventure! Sweet mooslings!
ReplyDeleteMooselings and ducklings. I was surprised by both.
DeleteIt sounds like it was a great walk, especially to see the moose and her babies!
ReplyDeleteIt was a very pleasant afternoon.
DeleteYou can stop at the moose. What a terrific sighting.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen calves that young.
DeleteI like your photos, Red. Great walk!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteRed, wow, congrats on all the pictures! I believe this is the first time I’ve seen a photo of a moose calf feeding. Well done and thanks for sharing! John
ReplyDeleteI've never seen calves this young.
DeleteWow! That's quite a shot of the moose! You hear so much about people getting close to the bison at Yellowstone, with disasterous consequences. Were you as close to those moose as the picture shows?
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't want to be closed. She was across the creek and below. She was not alarmed in any way.
DeleteWhat a great bonus to see the moose and the young ones. Super shots, Red.
ReplyDeleteThey did pose? Didn't they.
DeleteHow amazing that you saw the moose with calves and she didn't seem to be too upset with you. Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteShe was far enough away to not feel anxious. Some of these town animals learn some of our rules.
DeleteMoose calves. What an unexpected treat.
ReplyDeleteThey were a treat. I've never seen calves that young.
DeleteThat Mrs Moose does not seem the slightest bit bothered by your presence. Lovely photos - thank you.
ReplyDeleteShe was not alarmed. If you're still and quiet they tolerate quite a bit.
DeleteThat moose and calves would certainly be a big surprise!
ReplyDeleteSo glad I happened by after seeing you at Williams Post in Ottawa. Thank you for sharing these. Aloha from Honolulu
ReplyDeleteThanks. Welcome to Hiawatha House.

ReplyDeleteWow! Your country is alive, Red!
ReplyDeleteSpring comes very quickly when it comes. we have very long days.
DeleteI believe this may be the first time I've ever seen a baby moose, even in photographs!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing all these wonderful photos, Red. I've not been able to visit since I've been traveling and then came back to a mega renovation project for my mom. I'm exhausted.
