Today I have taken with permission a story by an e friend in Alaska . I love this story . Also another friend sent in a video of these delighful animals so here it all is. I hope you enjoy both the video and the stories. Personally I love moose an would love to see them in the flesh. They are somewhat timid of being seen from the road when we are travelling but I did see one young female beside the road a rare occurrence and far below us from a bridge we saw a beautiful male with a tremendous rack of antlers, what a sight.

From Denise.... Thank you my friend.
Yes, we do get moose in our yard usually on a daily basis. The mama's won't be dropping their babies until next month. When we spot our first baby each May our kiddos (and yes even I) get so excited. For us that is when Spring really begins.
The color of the newborns is that beautiful Irish Setter red. It's just stunning. Our local moose love to swim in our lake. During the summer when the Arctic loons return it is very funny to watch a loon chase a big moose out of the lake if the moose gets to close to the loon nest. You would think that the moose would look at the little loon and just snort it away. Oh no. The loons will even dive under water and attach the moose's feet and legs. Those moose just charge out of the water and run for cover. Loons don't walk so well on land so once a moose is on terra firma they will stop and look back at the loon which is squawking up a storm at the moose.
Enjoy!
