If you are reading this on your cell phone you can
probably double tap this box and it will fill your screen from
side to side, which will make it easier to read. You can double
tap again to zoom back out. The same is true of any of my
photos.
This young moose fed busily on the
grasses in this opening, while his mother bedded down nearby for
a quiet, comfortable rest. He started on one side of her, worked
his way down to the opposite side, and then back up to his
orginal position. Then something interesting happened. As a
friend of mine photographed down close on the ground in front of
me, the calf began moving away from the mother toward our
immediate left until, with the mother close by monitoring the
whole process, he was precariously close. Then the young one
started crying for his mother. I believe he had become
disoriented and had lost track of where she was. My friend
believes he may have been asking about these strange humans, or
he may have been asking mom to take him exploring in this
direction. Having already captured some very good frames, my
colleague did feel uncomfortably close and crept away. Mother
didn't seem too alarmed though, as her calf let out several
calls before she calmly responded with her own much deeper
voice. |
