Moose in Yard

Filed under: News, Wildlife — admin @ 7:27 am

Yesterday morning about 6:30 I was working in our office down stairs and happen to glance out the window into our back yard. As I look here came a large cow moose. She slowly walked up to one of the apple trees and began to smell. However, unlike a deer, she did not nibble on the trees leafs. In the meantime the guest were alerted and were happy to crawl out of bed long enough to see miss moose. The moose after spending about ten minutes in the yard then continued down the trail to the creek. Sorry, I was not able to get a picture of her.
