Baby Moose Twins Return for a Visit

June 15, 2010 | Tags: , , ,

We wrote an earlier post on a moose cow and two calves that have been hanging around my house this summer. Sunday night they were back. The twin calves were curious, and ready to come very close to the guy standing in the driveway (me). In the photos below you can see how they progress from the trail across the street, to the open area in the bushes, then across the street and into the yard. At that point Mom had to step in and call them back. Before leaving, they took a moment to nurse and then headed back into the woods.

This was a pretty rare wildlife encounter. Just so you know, my wife and I were always cautious and never came between the cow and her calves. The last two pictures were taken from inside the house, as the moose were only about 20 feet away. It is important to use caution whenever interacting wildlife.
