Cow Moose and Two Young Calves
June 2, 2010 | Tags: Moose, Photos, Wildlife
Spend much time in a typical Fairbanks yard and you will likely end up with a decent view of the abundant local wildlife. I had a rare look at a cow moose and two very young calves last night from my driveway. They stayed conveniently out of sight in the grass, bushes and other vegetation for most of the 20 minutes I watched, but these are the photos I caught when they stepped out. Not great…I didn’t exactly have a zoom lens handy for the occasion, but I thought you may get a kick out of them anyway.
If you have wildlife photos you would like to share from your Fairbanks-area experience, you can always enter them in our Photo Contest. Shots with adorable young cubs or calves inevitably do well. People love to vote for “cute.” You may also pass along your wildlife-encounter stories in the comments below.
